Hey Ivan, Welcome to the group. Glad you found a 17. They are great boats! I have owned two over the years. Still have the second one. I often wondered what a main hatch dodger would configure like. Thanks for the pics. My home port is a driveway in Rockport, Tx. Good luck with your boat. fair winds, Tom B <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 10:31 AM, Jazzy <jazzydaze@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello All! I recently purchased an M17, and of course have been lurking and learning all along. The boat was originally "Selkie" and the next owner re-named it "El Nino". My name is Ivan and I currently live in Gig Harbor, WA and am fairly new to sailing. I bought an older Snipe two summers ago and taught myself how to sail on that. I would love to get in contact with anyone nearby that is knowledgeable regarding M17 or 15s to perhaps come by for a looksie.
I look forward to getting to know you all better, and now for the best part of introduction posts.... PICS! Note "Selkie's" custom dodger as featured in Small Craft Advisor #64, 2010..... SWEET!
