Had a chance (3rd time out) to experience sailing with some stronger winds (gusts maybe up to 15-20), on a body of water where one can be 2 miles from shore when in the middle of the lake. Set out with the main double-reefed, but flying a 'standard' jib. Being all new to this, at times felt a bit nervous as the heeling increased, and blamed this on the jib being too large for the conditions. I recall from previous posts, that a common storm jib for an M-15 is the size of a pair of bloomers. Is there a suggested in-between-size as well, or is this more of an all-or-nothing type of scenario? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 11:49 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: M_Boats: M15 storm jib Do any of you skippers fly a storm jib? When reefing the Main? What size and how high on the mast is it flown? Capt Jim SV Pelican (M15)
