I noticed the absence of a port light too. I added an opening port light to the front of the cabin on my M-15 to give the cabin better ventilation. Daughter was pregnant with my grand-son at the time and she needed the ventilation, grand-son is now in highschool and I continue to enjoy the improved light and ventilation in the cabin.

I think I am seeing just a blank smooth cabin side with no 'window' there...? cheers, John On 03/20/2019 01:30 PM, Gerry Lempicki via montgomery_boats wrote:
So today we lowered the mast to put in halyards, then raised it again and tried putting the sails on/up. So far so good. I raised the jib enough so the foot cleared the pulpit, then checked the fit of the whisker pole. If it's supposed to work with this sail and if it should be close to horizontal, that pad eye on the mast should move up to about 40" from the base. Right now it's 22" up from base. Everything else looks good to me; we took a lot of measurements so we know where the boom sits and where to open up the slot for inserting the gooseneck. Next step, order the mast and get the boat off the trailer to remove the centerboard.
