Hi Matt, I'm in Glastonbury, CT and am former M15 owner. Neptune tapped me on the shoulder and intimated that I was getting a bit old for trailer sailing, so I've down sized again to an 11 foot Shellback dinghy, with sails. I used to keep my big boat at Ft. Rachel Marina on the Mystic River, and have covered most of the ports between Cape May, NJ and Boston, MA, including all of the Cape Cod area as well. Our normal weekend sailing area was Fishers Island - West Harbor, and of course, Block Island. If I can be of help, or lend moral support, please let me know. My e-mail address is chbenneck@juno.com I have no M17 experience, other than helping Eugene bring his M17 from downtown New London Marina to the launch ramp under I-95, using my 2 HP HONDA outboard. But sailing is sailing, and the essentials are all the same; bigger or smaller. Connie Benneck M15 ComPac 16 Bolger MICRO Tripp-Lentsch 29 Northeast 38
