I occasionally use a large nylon drifter on my M15 in very light winds, but did not yet do any major modifications to make it work. I just sheet it to the stern dockline cleat, and then run a line from the clew inboard to the regular jib sheet cleat to adjust the effective/virtual block position forwards. Since I also sometimes use a spinnaker, I have also rigged some quick clip on blocks for the stern cleats, along with some clam cleats on the cockpit coamings for adjusting this sheet, however I used to just tie it to the stern cleat before I had that. It doesn't get good sail shape for sailing upwind, but a genoa or drifter is not an upwind sail on an M15, because anything that sheets outside the shrouds won't come in far enough for going to windward. I reccomend using the large sail only for long downwind runs, along with a jib pole.

What does it take? My boat doesn’t have the extra hardware for a jig?
