Attached is a photo of SWEET PEA's. I've also used it on my M15 (actually made for my old M15 SCRED), and the Sage 17 and Sage 15 & SageCat (though short for the SageCat with her ling boom). More details needed let me know. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com On Thu, Jul 12, 2018, 12:44 PM <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org> wrote:
I had the sailmaker make up a 7X7 tarp of acrylan with a grommet in each corner, then used two whisker poles to go in front and back, and a line off each corner. it can be set up with the poles either over or under the boom, and can easily be canted either way to dodge the sun by adjusting the corner lines, which go down to the rails. I learned this from some of my cruising buddies in Tucson, who sail in Mexico. Even more proof that I know how to listen, despite what some say. A 6X6 tarp works well on the 15. When sailing I roll everything up together and lash it to the toe rail.

I've done all my cruising in warm weather, mostly in Mexico, where I do everything in the cockpit under a boom awning, and the area below is necessary only for stowage, and this influences my thinking.
Makes sense...I hope to do some of that kind of warm weather cruising but sometimes I'll also be in the northwest, where it's nice to be able to hunker down in 'adequate comfort' below for a little while.
Care to share your design for M17 boom awning?
cheers, John
