Dave, A similar chart for the M-15 would be useful too. I remember asking you about the M-15 sheets and lines at Pocket Yacht Palooza in Port Townsend, jotting the information in my notebook, then going into the WoodenBoat Foundation Chandlery with my VISA card in hand and buying what I needed, but I would appreciate the information again in a format like you used for the M-17.

Backstay adjuster will be 3/16 or 1/4 depending on vcleat size. Hope the above is helpful. :: Dave Scobie On Jan 22, 2016 7:11 PM, "David Rifkind" <drifkind@acm.org> wrote:
Need to replace all the rotted rope on what is becoming my M17. (By “all the rotted rope” I mean _all_ the rope.) The pieces that are left measure 5/16”. That looks right for the halyards and incidentals, but the sheet blocks and cleats look like they were intended for something larger. What is (are) the usual sizes?
About the only piece that isn’t coming apart is the centerboard pendant. It’s tempting to leave it alone as I don’t really have a plan for getting at the centerboard.
