Re: M_Boats: C'mon, join the Pardey!

Hi Rusty, Word of warning!!! Do you have a knot in the centerboard pennant? There is no stop when you drop the centerboard, so the proper way to do it is to carefully lower your CB till you feel it touch the CB case; now pull up a few inches on the pennant and put in a stopper knot. At this point when you lower the CB, the stopper knot will keep the CB from bottoming out on the CB trunk. A safety precaution that every new M15 owner has to know. Happy sailing Connie
