Kendall: I cut out one of the cockpit lockers in my M15. Be sure to provide it with a positive lid latch, so that if you heel too far over you don't fill the cabin with water thru the locker lid that would likely fly open if not latched. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

Kendall:
i believe this is a owner option. don't know if this was done by jerry in '84 or by a prior owner.
yes LOTS of space, thought i always worry about putting to much all in the stern.
i'll be sharing photos shortly (need to visit the boat in winter storage today).

Is that what happened to the later models? The design changed?
Can you send some pictures please. kdocter@bellsouth.net
