MMP151390381 I suspected the boat's # was part of the HIN, after length and before year, but seemed too many numbers.Mike On Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 03:53:56 PM PDT, Dave Scobie < scoobscobie@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Dave. If you don't mind a question, where on the M15 do I find the boats number?Mike W On Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 12:50:44 PM PDT, Dave Scobie < scoobscobie@gmail.com> wrote:
I met that boat and talked with the two crew when in Victoria, BC, after we had completed stage one.ofnthe race.
Mostly I remember their standing rig was way to loose, not the 'snug' (again never tight nor use a Loos gauge). I shared some tuning hints
I kinda recollect they hadn't crossed on the first day because the seas and wind were sporting - they left PT afternoon if race start and went up the WA coast of Strait of Juan de Fuca, where they overnighted (Port Angeles?) and crosses to Vancouver Island the next morning.

I recently purchased an M15 that seller said was in an early R2AK race.The white boat with blue stripe has been fitted with a port-side oarlock and came with a long two-part oar. Anyone know more about this vessel?Appreciate your help. Thanks,Mike Witkin
