Wow. That is a generous offer. I will call you soon. You are right around the block! Daniel On 7/14/2010 8:45 AM, Ken Wheeler wrote:
Daniel, I live in Windsor and sail mostly on Lake Sonoma. I sold my M17 a year or so ago and bought M15 #128 which I have been slowly restoring. I would be glad to show you my boat, it's one of the first built, now close to 30 years old but still sails great. I also looked at the Potters and sailed a 19 before I bought the M17. There are advantages to the Potter 15 and to the M15. I would feel much more secure in the M15 on Tamales Bay. You can call me at 707-837-7564 (my home office) and we can discuss the differences and maybe set up a afternoon for a sail.

Hello, all!
I just joined, but do not own a M 15. I currently sail a Vagabond 14 dinghy. Nice little boat, and for a dinghy, pretty stable with her chined hull and wide beam. I have her rigged nicely to single hand, and she is easy to launch and sail. But...
My wife just doesn't feel too safe in it when I sail in good wind, such as Tomales Bay in California. So, I am considering a pocket cruiser, and the M 15 looks terrific. So, a few questions:
1) Why the M 15 over the WW Potter 15? The M 15 looks much better to me, but gotta ask. 2) Anybody in Northern California near Santa Rosa willing to show me their boat, or better yet, take me out for a demo? I will supply snacks and premium wine as I live in Sonoma County! I would really like to see one of these boats before considering buying one. I am a 50 year old ophthalmologist in good shape, and like to think I would be good company... 3) I figure finding a used one will be tough. So, I would consider buying a new one. Had a few emails with Bob Eeg of NorSea, and he seems very nice and straightforward. Any words of wisdom when dealing with buying a new one?
Thanks so much for your help!
