I met that boat and talked with the two crew when in Victoria, BC, after we had completed stage one.ofnthe race. Mostly I remember their standing rig was way to loose, not the 'snug' (again never tight nor use a Loos gauge). I shared some tuning hints I kinda recollect they hadn't crossed on the first day because the seas and wind were sporting - they left PT afternoon if race start and went up the WA coast of Strait of Juan de Fuca, where they overnighted (Port Angeles?) and crosses to Vancouver Island the next morning. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: former owner SV SWALLOW - sailboatswallow.wordpress.com/ :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com On Thu, Jun 8, 2023, 12:18 Michael Witkin via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
I recently purchased an M15 that seller said was in an early R2AK race.The white boat with blue stripe has been fitted with a port-side oarlock and came with a long two-part oar. Anyone know more about this vessel?Appreciate your help. Thanks,Mike Witkin
