Hello: After having lurked on this board for two years I guess it's high time I say hi. Hi. And thanks for all the great advice on boats. I am so happy with our M-15. We are having a great time. We bought it last July, 11 months ago. This sailing thing sure is complicated though. My next job is figuring out how to reef that mainsail. I have one set of reefing points, and we sure could have used it 2 weeks ago. I put together a little trip report on one of those free hosting web deals. It's not all sailing, but it was fun for me anyways. Here is the link (I hope): http://www.angelfire.com/trek/paultravel/santa_barbara_trip.html Paul L. - Montgomery 15 #468 _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/
