Did I say 3/16 for the mainsheet? I truly meant 5/16, which is what we supplied with new 15's. The headsail on a 15 is much smaller than on a 17 and 5/16 would do fine for average conditions.

Thanks, Jerry, is that true for a 1985 M15 as well? I'm sure what came with it is larger than 3/16 for the main. That one doesn't matter as much, though, because of the kind of jamming cleat it has (is there some other name for those that I have forgotten?) The jib sheets are slipping through the existing cleats because of wear but they could be 3/8.
