Looking for M15 Owners In S. Alberta/BC area
by Fran & Norm Moll 26 Sep '07

I've just sold my Bayfield 25 - too big to move with my VW vehicles - and am looking for contacts with M15 (my next boat?) to correspond with and perhaps help with finding one to buy next year.

M-15 Bow and stern pulpet
by Bobbie Mayer 26 Sep '07

I wouldn't want to be without the bow pulpit but don't have a stern pulpit so can't comment there. No idea on cost; mine was new with the boat in 1985. Bobbie

Hi James, On my ex M15 LEPPO, I used a square restaurant type table stove that uses butane cannisters. The stove is about 12" X 12" X 3". It has piezio electric ignition. When not in use, you can release the fuel cannister and the cannister is disconnected from the stove - i.e., no fuel leakage. The size allows easy stowage. I bought it at a store chain called, "OCEAN STATE JOB LOT", in Connecticut, and paid about $19 for it. We only used it while at anchor so gimbaling was unnecessary. It is also hand for use at home for making crepes Suzette; or on car trips at rest stops for making coffee, soup, or an omelet. Restaurant supply houses sell them as well - in stainless steel - and for a lot more money. Ours is painted black, and after several years of use is none the worse for wear. Hope this helps... Connie

Like Connie, I too use the restaurant type table top stove with butane canister. On my second stove, my first one went with my last boat, "The Old Cat." I also recommend them. John R. Butler theoldcat(a)cox.net

Tom and Dana That would be great to have you folks over to a nice lake - good time of year to sail there (power traffic down) and to get to meet more of the M-boat list! Hope you can experience some of Jo and Seans hospitality. We need a good looking M-17 to fill out the ranks, so your boat should fill the bill. Look forward to meeting the two of you, GaryO blaaah blaah blaah now get that da*n dog offa my leg! LOLOLOL ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Sean, Because you are the resident expert in this area - Thank You for your research and ideas, they are well thought out. I am sure this would help some people extend their sailing season. I was just giving you a ribbing hard time. In his comment Sean mentions "wind came up pretty strong from the stern" -so strong I parked my truck in the lee of his boat, and it was still rocking from time to time from the wind. I have an Origo Heat Pal and the only place it is used is in the cockpit! Yeah - like a campfire when it is freezing cold -January-like at late night. Gotta try some marshmallows. CO monitor is a good idea - Sean has most of this stuff figured out- now if he could just keep that dog off his leg.......

Heater
by Tim Diebert 26 Sep '07

>So....a Coleman is a little iffy Sean? I always thought they might be. I have been a fan of this old chap that has 60,000 miles and (as you can imagine) a ton of nights on the hook in his 16 footer. He has always used what he calls a GAZ radiant heater. I had always imagined this to be the UK equivalent to a Coleman style tent heater. He must leave the hatches open a bit....as far as I know he is still with us. I like the CO sensor idea. I think I would be more comfortable knowing I am sleeping with a canary. Thanks for all the tips folks. Tim and M17 Puff Oh and BTW, Charles' Stock's website makes for great reading, his book is one of my top five favs. http://shoal-waters.moonfruit.com/ ====================================================================

Tom, We aren't doing anything fancy. Everyone is going to get on the water at whatever time they can on Sat (some of us will be on the water on Friday). Hopefully we'll have some wind, sail down the lake, and find a cove to anchor up in together. Dinner is every man/woman for themselves. I'm planning on bringing some firewood so we can have a campfire, sit on the beach and Brag to each other about what great sailors we are. Sunday, sleep in/get up early/whatever. Sail around, head back up the lake to town. This will not be a Monty exclusive event. In fact, right now we'll be out-numbered by far.hahaha Gary O. is coming up from Phoenix with his 17, obviously,we'll be there with Dauntless, and then rest will be a West Wight Potter from Kingman, couple of local Macgregors, and maybe a Santana. Hoping convert some of these guys! Come on down if you can make it. If you need info on Havasu (lodging, ramps, etc) let me know off list. I'll send my phone number, you can give me a call and save both our typing fingers some work. Sure would like to see some more Montys come up!
