Well, the caption says that the photo is proof of planing with a displacement hull. Doesn't look like surfing. Daniel On Tuesday, September 7, 2010, jerry <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org> wrote:
Maybe it was surfing- a camera has a way of flattening out the waves. I've surfed in a 15 several times with a spinnaker and short but steep wav3es.

Montypals:
I was imagining away on the photo site, and was looking at "Storm Petrol." One photo shows the boat seemingly planing, as there appears to be a bow wave, but no stern wave. Have many of you experienced this in an M15?
