Dan I am in the process of building a wooden mast crutch to replace the inadequate one on my M15. I found one on the O'Day site that I subscribe to but I did not save the e-mail after I printed it. I also found information on the Montgomery site in the old newsletter for one.

Montypals: I got home after sailing today and noticed that my mast crutch had broken! One of the welds broke at the gudgeon. So, I need to replace it somehow. It is a metal one that came with the boat. I'm thinking that building a wood one would make some sense here. Anybody got plans for one? How would I attach some kind of pintles at the bottom? Should I just use bolts down there somehow? Any thoughts greatly appreciated! Daniel Rich M15 #208 "Kestrel" danielgrich@gmail.com
