Are the crossed items above the open hatch crossed rifles like the U.S. Army Infantry insignia? Wore similar looking items on my uniform many years ago.

Hi Steve,
I faced the same problem; but I also wanted a place for my binoculars; my GPS; my VHF radio; my Grundig Radio; and my beer for our M15.
First you contemplate your navel. Then, when the bright flash of inspiration strikes you; you start measuring and scheming....
My solution was to build a dedicated lower hatch board that solve all these problems.
I bought a teak binocular holder - the longest one I could find - but it wasn't designed for 7 X 50 binoculars. I needed a teak "stretcher" to provide the room required.
Luckily I had a good shop. I cut my teak holder; spliced in about a 4 inch section so that O could cut the binocular holes to the size and spacing I needed; I built a holder for the GPS; the VHF radio; and for the beer can in an insulator. At the right hand corner I had a small length of bungee cord to firmly hold the Grundig radio, which fitted in the remaining space, and the Grundig antenna fitted neatly in the slot for the hatch boards; i.e., nicely protected from damage.
So, when sailing by myself I had everything I needed at my finger tips; ... and the beer never spilled if a sudden gust hit me.

As I watched a good, locally brewed microbrew beer trickle down the cockpit drainhole of my M-15, I wondered if M-boats have ever been built with cup holders, or if an aftermarket cup holder that does not require too much alteration of the M-15 cockpit is available? Steve M-15 # 335

Suggestions: BOB-for either Bob Eeg or what we do when the wind dies. WIND RACER-we can always hope. CARE LESS- my normal modus operandi and how I feel when on the water. HELPMEJESUS- when the lee port is showing green, the main sheet is stuck, and the tiller tamer won't release. Not a bad idea for many other occasions. BEYOND-where most of us really are when we're at the helm.(There's still some imaginative little boy-or girl-in all of us). GOOD LUCK- why do people always say that to me when I leave the dock?

I've become dissatisfied with the name I picked for my M17. This isn't a new problem. We've had a lot of dogs and it's sometimes been hard to find the right name, though we've always managed eventually. But it's preying on me.
I never formally named her so I have no qualms about changing it.
Not really looking for suggested names but maybe for ways to go about thinking of one.
