Hi Bert, A few of us have had to send our old M15 sails to the maker to get an accurate cut. If time will permit, I would recommend you doing the same. Sometimes it saves some back and forth. As Dave mentioned, over the years, changes happen and it's difficult to tell if your sails are stock, or even what stock was for your boat. sal In a message dated 8/25/2011 9:38:02 P.M.

Hello Gordon, Good to see your post.I have Sails East products on my M23 and they have served me well. I'm sure there are better sails out there, but I am not a racer and do not require the cutting edge of performance.I agree, this is a global economy, and that is not going to change. Just back from 3 days on Lake Vermillion sailing and boat camping with my M17. What a pristine area. I love northern Mn in late summer.

Sail Sizes and Features
by Robert Hall 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hello All, Does anyone have the exact dimensions for a M15 mainsail, those required to supply to the sailmaker who make the sail? I have the same question concerning the jib. Would also welcome comment on features necessary and/or useful on a new sail.With regard to the jib,is increasing the size a good idea, or do I go with the standard? Has anyone experience with using a drum and swivel jib furling system on the M15 ? Finally what does the term”85% jib “ mean? Thanks. I know the answers are out there. RTH.

Rebedding deck hardware
by Daniel Rich 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Montypals: Just got #208 from Bob Becker. Nice craft. Just did the driveway sail today in preparation for a real sail soon! A couple of the through deck fittings are leaking a bit. These may be leaking through the section of wood core on the deck. There is no weakness there that I can feel. I noted a bit of water in the cabin after the big rain we had even with the boat covered. I can see the fitting that is leaking. What is the best way to deal with this, and what products do I need? I read somewhere that I should remove the fitting, use a bent nail or something on a drill bit to get out some of the core, and epoxy it first. Then redrill and seat with polyurethane sealer? Have I got the right idea here? What products to use? Daniel
