right of way & M15 sailing to Hawaii

George, I think that was Michael Scott Mann in his M15 "Little Breeze", from Huntington Beach CA to Hawaii, summer of 1982, described more fully in a book he published about it in 2015. - Brad

Gary, I think "Deathtrap 21" would be kind of a cool name for a sailboat....have you been talking to Jerry? Missed you at Lake Pleasant, family obligations ate up the time. Thanks again for the offer of hospitality.... Bones ____________________________________________________________ One Cup of This (Before Bed) Burns Belly Fat Like Crazy!

In search of an M15

Hello all, I've been a member of the list for over a year now, reading and learning all I can about these special boats. I'm ready to take the plunge for a used M15 (M17 exceeds my tow capacity) if only one were available a bit closer to Philadelphia and thought I'd try reaching out to the list before giving up and settling for any of the decent but less desirable vessels more readily available in my region. Please get in touch directly if you know of any that might be for sale to an eager young chap with cash in hand! Thanks, Will

Re: M_Boats: Gelcoat

Tom, I did not use any primer on my M17. The 2000 adhered fine. Of course you need a very clean hull surface. I did multiple coats for the correct thickness (how many, I do not recall)....... Good luck, wear your respirator!

Gelcoat
by Thomas Buzzi 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

While pressure washing the old bottom paint off my M17 I managed to dislodge hundreds of pencil eraser sized bits of the yellow gelcoat just above the boot top.All of the spots are round, like bubbles formed under the gelcoat were popped by the water jet. It almost seemed that there was some water migration along that line between the white boottop and the yellow hull. What is the best way to handle all the missing yellow gelcoat? The coat underneath is white and doesn't look like just a resin layer or fiberglas cloth weave. Anybody know what this second coat of material might be composed of? And how best to fill in all those holes? Would just making up some yellow gelcoat and troweling it into the holes work? I am not too worried about cosmetics at this point.I would just wet sand the patches and maybe coat everything with the "Glass" coating I used two years ago which has held up very well. I will be keeping the boat in a fresh water lake this year here in central Texas. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Tom, Yep, you need bottom paint to go over the Interprotect 2000. I used Micron CSC.
