Re: M_Boats: P-15 vs M-15 vs CP-16 Opinionated rant AMWS
Really? You are also a Contributor - now get that next article out,'What if any difference is there between a Downhaul & Cunningham' - inquiring minds want to know. I question the method of report,as the number of people who have/do owned at least two, or have regularly sailed them will ,as most do, have opinions based on what they are sailing now. How about an independent person - having owned none of them, evaluate and compare/contrast the individual models? A number of periodicals have done this - sometimes NA's avail themselves to the task and have usually given fair reports -my opinion and worth what you paid. I don't think we need to see a Potter/Montgomery/Compac booster-fest. The need for comparative info as proposed has become increasingly necessary with the lack of "Stocking Dealerships" IMO - pictures on the inter netz and bulletin boards of loyal brand/model owners does not make for clear or objective decision making for purchases. Rumor has it FrankB and Company are looking at delivering new boats right to your slip using drones. I applaud the SCA's goal, but think there may be a more informative manner to achieve the results. I enjoy the periodical - good forum quality magazine - I am NOT bashing SCA here. BTW - have owned one of the mentioned craft and sailed two for substantial lengths of time - I would not respond as I am biased - we return you to the regularly scheduled programming followed by news updates. who else?

I strongly suggest a second east coast boat: a Precision. Whatever length they make that comes close to the 15 or 16 size. Dennis Olmstead Portland, OR Sent from my iPad
