I just picked up the May/June issue of Small Craft Advisor. For those interested, there is a classified ad for a M15. The ad doesn't list the year or hull number, but says: New sail w/Schafer roller furling for both jib and main, new 3.5 hp Johnson motor, Easy Loader trailer, good condition CT. $4,800 (860) 569-7181. P.S. There is also an article by Brian Gilbert on Swing Centerboard Renovation. His '79 M17 is featured. George M15 #319

M17- #643 - SEABISCUIT - AUTO PILOT
by TERMEQUIP＠aol.com 10 May '07

10 May '07

I INTEND TO PURCHASE A NEW AUTO PILOT FOR THE M17. I HAVE USED SEVERAL RAYMARINE AUTOPILOTS ON PREVIOUS BOATS. THEY WERE THE 4000 AND 7000 SERIES AND THEY BOTH WORKED FINE. THEY ALWAYS HELD COURSE +/- 2 DEGREES. FOR THE M17 I AM THINKING ABOUT THE RAYMARINE ST2000. IT MAY BE A BIT OVERKILL BUT I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ONE SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE SPECIFICATIONS CALL FOR. I PURCHASED THE IDASAILOR RUDDER WITH THE NEW BOAT AND HAVE ONLY A SLIGHT BIT OF HELM. NORMALLY I WILL ONLY USE THE AUTOPILOT WHEN MOTORING OR TAKING SAILS DOWN OR RAISING SAILS. MY SUZUKI 6hp HAS A 6 AMP CHARGER AND HOPE IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND TAKE CARE OF THE AUTO PILOT. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU IN REGARDS TO THE ABOVE.

The owner has new halyards that need to be installed in the mast. The boat originally did not have the factory interior installed as it was used for racing, but now has some paneling inside. It needs to be shined up but is basically sound. Tom ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

My #361 came with main and jib by Pineapple, used twice, and a 505 spinnaker by North, used but very good. I am too far gone to fly a spinnaker, or properly appreciate new canvas, so they are all up for sale. $1,100 takes them all, including lines, pole, mast tracks and cars (latter all complete, I think and hope), you pay UPS (AND NO SALES TAX!). For complete and professional appraisal by a sailmaker (cost me $70), e-mail me off line and I'll send a copy of his full- page appraisal. John R. Butler theoldcat(a)cox.net

In the "little breese" saga, the owner added two cockpit drains before taking her out on the ocean to Hawaii. I beleive he had Jerry add them. I think that "eye of infinity" also ad them. I've dreamed of sailing the Gulf to Beleze and would add additional cockpit drains to help if I were "pooped" But sailing the Bay, I'm satisified with the current arrangement.
