Randy Graves M15 line handling questionl
Randy or others, I patterned my single handed main and jib handling lines using your setup as shown on your site http://sailing.gravesfam.us/M15%20Hull%20Number%20407%20%20Dinky%20Boat/Form... (pictures 2019 and 2022). I added cheek blocks and an extra V cleat for securing the lines on top of the cabin. Do you have a cleat in the cockpit to further secure the lines after going through the V cleat? I don't see any securing cleats in your detailed pictures. If you have a second set of cleats, where did you install them? Will the jib and main stay secured without a second set of cleats to tie off on? Norm M15 #172
After reading about Bill's Ankerlight (excellent link, Bill, thanks for sharing), I started wondering: Could the portable "dinghy nav lights", such as those previously available through West Marine by Aqua Signal (and now available through West Marine in some brand I don't recognize), be retrofit with L.E.D. bulbs? These AA-battery powered dinghy nav lights with mounting bracket options are good backups . . . But the standard bulbs go through batteries quickly.
