Jim, I have a curiosity question. Why are you carrying so much gas on an M-15? Skip Campion

Rusty I believe you/ Almost wonder if my 2 40 # gas containers are going to cause problems. I could locate one on the bow as a counter weight. "The real test is at sea" Capt Ron How about towing a small dingy and using a drogue from the dingy in following sea? From the view point of the dingy it doesn’t know it is being towed by a M15 or large sail boat. The performance of the towed dingy has nothing to do with what is towing it. .....right?
Thanks for the great discussion and input

Jim.
Hanging that much weight plus the additional needed for davits would make the boat squat terribly at the transom sail/motor terribly. There would also be hobby horsing.
The M15 hates weight at the transom.
Tow a small dingy or kayak.
