I'm a new owner of a M-15 #640. I'm setting it up for the first time and have figured most of it out But I need help with rigging the traveler. Would some one on the list give me some guidance on the line to use, its length and where it attaches. The boat has cleats on each stern corner are they for the traveler? Thank you, Willy Gorrissen
Willy You see those 2 eye straps on the back corners of the deck, on the transom ? Your boom will have a 7 foot line on a 90 degree block. Each end of the line goes thru the eye strap and a simple knot lock on the end keeps it secure. The line is 5/16. Congrats on the boat! Bob Sent from my iPad

No way why? In the second picture, you can see the transom with boat name "Chukar" and port "Sandpoint, ID" - which is near Lake Coeur d'Alene, as is the city of Coeur d'Alene. That's all I know, besides recalling someone here posting about an M-15 in that vicinity (seeing it, owning it...? Can't recall the details). I remembered because I have a cousin living near Coeur d'Alene and if I went to visit her it would be fun to get a sail on the lake in a Monty. It's a gorgeous lake. cheers, John S.

I apologize for being short with you John. I sailed that boat for many years on Lake Pend Oreille, in N. Idaho. That picture was taken on the Columbia River above Umatilla, OR. I sold it to a nurse who did occasional work in Sandpoint, ID. I believe she donated it to a charity in the mid-west and it was auctioned for that charity's benefit. I suspect it's in the mid-west still. Again, if anybody's seen Chukar, please contact me at s(underscore)tomtwentythree(number)@yahoo.com.

No worries Tom, I had this vague idea it was your boat actually but then I figured I was mistaken since you were asking where was it. Now I know the history, it all makes sense. Pend Oreille is another beautiful lake in that area...hope to sail something there someday! cheers, John S. On 06/13/2015 08:22 AM, Tom Smith wrote:

Voila, your traveler is in place.
The main sheet then goes from the becket on the block at the aft end of the boom down to the block on the traveler; through the block, and then back up and through the aft end of the main sheet block leading forward.
At the forward block on the bottom of the boom,pass the main sheet
through
the block and then down to the swivel block in front of the
companionway.
That's it. Go sailing!

I'm a new owner of a M-15 #640. I'm setting it up for the first time and
have figured most of it out But I need help with rigging the traveler. Would some one on the list give me some guidance on the line to use, its length and where it attaches. The boat has cleats on each stern corner
are
they for the traveler?
Thank you, Willy Gorrissen

I asked Dave Scobie when I saw him at the Pocket Yacht Palooza in Port Townsend, and on his advice I bought 7 ft of 7/16 line. Need the extra length to provide enough for the figure 8 knots. I bought it from the WoodenBoat Foundation store, bit spendy but it works on my M-15.

Hi Willy,
Outside the stern cleats at the aft corners of the deck , P/S, you should find two holes in the deck corners.
That is where the rope traveler goes.
Rope diameter? About the size of the hole - probably about 3/8" diameter. Length? 5 1/2' to 6' long.
Put a figure 8 knot on the end of the line; feed it through the hole from the bottom; remember to put the traveler block in place on the line; then the far end goes down through the opposite transom hole and you put another figure 8 knot on the end.
