Interesting that it still has the running backstays installed. I wonder how much hassle vs benefit they offer. Does anyone know if it has modifications to the cabin hatch or drop boards to keep out water in heavy seas? I talked to a guy that sailed an M15 from San Francisco to LA and he said it was shipping a lot of water into the cabin between the sliding hatch and the deck. I like this watertight cabin on Strawanza (attached) but I think it would make the cabin awkward to use for a tall person. Tyler

Hi all,
FYI, M-15 "Little Breeze" is for sale, see below. It's on Hawai'i Island. The seller, Mauricio, is a member of Na Hoa Holomoku (the sailing club in Hilo). His e-mail is below in the forwarded message.
So, you'd either have to move to Hawai'i to sail her...or, ship her back. Or sail her back I suppose.
Or, you could buy her and then donate her to the sailing club... :-)
cheers, John S.
