Re: M_Boats: RE: Downsizing - Catboat?

Mike If your going to sail SF bay, you need something more seaworthy than a sea pearl or peep hen. Those are warm clime beach boats (sea pearl was on my short list until i needed a cabin and portapotti (new wife). dont regret going with the M-15. As John said, a little organization and she will be the easiest boat ever to rig and launch (my 2 HP honda rides on the boat). She will take the steep chop and high winds. Re the cat boat, IMHO the sloop rig of the M-15 is better pointing into the wind. Why is my destination always upwind no matter what? My suggestion, buy a new M-15. Good Luck Don M-15 Sweet Dream
