Hi, I have a M-15 and am sure it would do fine in good weather. In the past I did an overnighter in a Victory (a 21 foot open keel boat). We motered much of the way over because of very lijht winds. The next day we sailed back to Newport at hull speed...a delightful return. Let's see what others have to say...

Wondering about wind conditions, points of sail, anchorage? Would any of you M-15 skipper want to join a sail this summer? Maybe a tack to Santa Barbara Island. Then to Catalina and return to Long Beach.
