Alec, I hope you find a suitable M-15 or M-17 boats, they are great boats for cruising. I have enjoyed many weekends of cruising with my M-15, mostly on Lake Couer D'Alene in Idaho. The M-15 anchors well in the many bays and inlets of that lake, with enough space to be comfortable for 2 adults. The cabin is cozy, and I found mine was more comfortable in summer weather with a port added to the front of the cabin and opened for ventilation. Used a cooler and a small camp stove for the meals, much like tent camping. My M-15 and I are now on South Puget Sound.

Hello all! I'm new to this group, but not new to sailing.
I'd love to see a member's 15 or 17 in the New England area. I'm in CT now, but will be in northern VT later in the summer. I have a Capri 22 now, but am thinking of downsizing to a Monty 17 or maybe 15...
Can one of you who has cruised the 15, even just for weekends, shoot me a note about it's ability to do this in (relative) comfort? I've done so on the 22, without difficulty, so have some clue what I'm in for...
Much thanks, and the boats seem excellent! -Alec
