Dave, I like the key fob from the Havasu event but I like my small folding pocketknife from Sal at Spyderco a lot more!

M12 forestay attachment
by edward steenstra 24 May '11

24 May '11

After 25 years I finally have another M12, my memory of how to rig the mast is a bit foggy, the forestay and shrouds came in a box tangled up like spaghetti. I know the shrouds attach via a bolt thru the mast, but am unsure where the forestay attaches to the mast. The block I'm assuming is for the jib halyard, but haven't a clue on the forestay upper attachment. There are VERY few pics of a rigged M12 on the net. Pics/diagrams anybody? Thanks! ED

M12 forestay
by edward steenstra 23 May '11

Jerry, thanks for the info,I was looking at the mast and suddenly I remembered how the forestay attaches. Mine has the slot below the shroud bolt hole. You slide the bolt thru the shroud eye, into the mast hole, then fish the forestay thimble thru the mast slot,thru the bolt inside the mast , out the other side of the mast, thru the other shroud eye and put the nut on. Lucky for me the fog lifted for a moment. I'd like to thank you and Lyle for the M12, everybody comments on how pretty a boat she is. I've had many fun days on my old one and now looking ahead to my "new 1975 model" M12. ED

Was that a lite gray boat? If so, it's one I made for myself to take down to Mexico, and I remember someone coming by and talking me out of it. Glad you've enjoyed the boat. I've taken the liberty of forwarding your email to the M-list and the Sage forum because that's the best way to sell the boat, I think.

Any suggestions as to where to find a replacement for the m-15 plastic stern ladder clip (and I suppose strap too)? Is this a West Marine item? Thanks in advance for your help. M-15 Anne Bonny
