if you want to make the investment add t-track and jib-sheet cars to the M15's cabin top. my M15 had this setup and it was great for getting perfect trim of the jib on all points of sail, instead of 'kinda OK' if you use a fixed bullseye. i don't have any really 'good' pictures of my M15's setup. if you look at a picture of a Sage 17's cabin top setup you'll get the idea - http://sagemarine.com/Gallery_large_pictures/HPCC2011_6.html :: Dave Scobie :: forum M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.com --- On Wed, 9/14/11, Joe Balla <jbsails@gmail.com> wrote:
I just took ownership of my 1985 M15 and am planning upgrades to my rigging, not only the mainsheeting system but plan to lead halyards aft etc. Any photos or upgrade mods that others have done would be really helpful.
Best, JB

Hi, all! Could someone please send me some pics of their mainsheet cleat mounted on the thwart, as the M15's were originally rigged, or at least an accurate description of the tackle used? The previous owner changed the rigging and I want to get it back to the original setup for better control and handling. Unfortunately, I only get more confused looking thru the West Marine catalog at all the blocks, cams and cleats. Also, has anyone rigged up lazy jacks? It's always such a mess in the cockpit when I lower the mainsail! Thanks alot, guys! I want to get "Prelude" looking good for Havasu 2012! Bill Hinkel '87 M15 #398, "Prelude"
