Re: M_Boats: My "new" used M 15

Hi Blake, When I had our M15, I had a small Danforth compass mounted on a piece of teak board. I just placed it on the cockpit sole at the front end of the cockpit. The bulkhead supplied a reference point, and if the compass was moved (by feet) it was instantly visible as a gap between teak board and bulkhead, so alignment was no problem. The advantage, as far as I was concerned was: 1. The compass was easy to stow when not in use. 2. I didn't have to mount it in the aft end of the cabin. Mounting it there means that on one tack it is handy to see, on the other you are craning your neck. 3. Fewer holes to make in the M15. Connie ex M15 #400 LEPPO
