Hello out there in Montgomery country. My boat trailer has a second trailer tongue with ball receiver mounted on the end right next to the regular one with which I tow the trailer. Does anybody have experience with this second trailer tongue? It looks like it will slide out further than the main trailer ball receiver. Is it just there for emergency at the launch ramp such as when you can't gain enough traction to pull the boat out or is it to be used whenever you launch or retrieve the boat? I am considering having a new trailer made of aluminum and am wondering if it is worth the expense of duplicating this second tongue configuration. Fair winds, Tom B M17 #258

Small Main on a M-15
by Robert Hall 01 Oct '13

Hello All. Surely a sail maker could easily sew 2 ft onto your short sail. I had the same experience when I bought a Compac 16 from a fellow who sailed exclusively on Chesapeake Bay. I suppose he wanted a sail with a permanent “reef”. RTH.

M15 Sail Info
by George Iemmolo 01 Oct '13

Monty Pals Was out sailing today in steady 14-16K winds topping out @ 20K was able to sail without a reef and maintain boat on her 15 deg. line. I am wondering if I am under canvassed. Can someone direct me to where I can find Main and Working Jib dimensions? I noticed that I still have about 24" of host left on the Main. My boom is sitting just below the mast gate held there by a stop. It appears that I could have the boom above the gate with stop preventing it from coming down. Where should the Boom normally ride on a M15? I have my Jib foot at the same height as the Boom is that correct?

Hi Rich, Time to replace. This spring, we had to replace the spare on a 16 foot fishing boat before driving to Canada. The tire would not hold air due to sidewall cracks. It had never touched the road! UV took her life. I believe I have radial tires on my M17 trailer. It probably makes little difference.

Furling Foresail
by Robert Hall 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hello All, Am now well past the 80 year mark but intend to keep sailing my beloved M-15. To do so in safety I would like to install a furler which would carry a genoa,allowing me to shorten sail as the weather dictates while still maintaining proper sail shape. Do any of you have experience with a furler that meets my requirements? How large a genoa can I expect to carry.? On some boats like the Siren, one will find a swivel and drum furler but those arrangements don’t allow one to lessen the sail area while maintaining an aerodynamic shape. Any advice or pictures would be appreciated. At present am using a 128% hank on jib with a downhaul which of course requires me to go forward to change sails. I may be old ,but not (or no longer) stupid.Thank You. RTH.

Trailer Tire Sidewall Cracks
by Rich Makela 25 Sep '13

I've noticed cracking on the sidewalls of my M-17 trailer tires, and I'm trying to determine whether it poses a threat. I've attached a PDF with photos. The starboard tire is worse than the port tire. I can't find the code that is supposed to tell me the date of manufacture. They are both Reynolds bias-belted tubeless tires. I only haul the boat from the lake to my home, and then to storage - less than 50 miles total. I've found information on Goodyear web site about RV tires stating that sitting around and not moving can cause sidewall cracking. Can anyone out there with tire experience offer any advice? Thanks.
