I've got a couple questions for y'all: 1) My M15 is fantastically maneuverable, but seems awfully tippy. If I'm not on the sheets a gust can push me over or at least give a good scare to passengers. I kinda figure that it's because I've got too much mast, as I put all the parts together from scratch (got the hull only to begin with - for $25!) but I'd like to know if anyone else experiences this. I've made every mistake once, including a knockdown with passengers which could have been scary, but turned out to be kinda fun (this could be hindsight...) 2) I've got a lot of Styrofoam underneath the cockpit and in the bow locker under the cushion. I noticed that another M15 has lots of it in the same place (not under the cockpit, though) - I believe it was SCRED. I figured it was from when they must have floated it up from the bottom of some TX harbor, but perhaps not? I haven't removed it because I haven't needed the space, but it would be handy to have it. Is my M15 likely to sink!? 3) Finally, anyone have advice on pulling out the centerboard? Is it cast iron or are there differences between manufacture dates? I believe mine is either an '81 or '82. I'd like to pull it out, examine it and see if I should clean it up or do any other work on it... Thanks, Chris M15 Persephone
