      Steve -

As Dave mentioned, the Pocket Yacht Palooza will be Saturday, July 22,
followed by the three-day Palooza Crooza foe small boats (July 23-25).
For details, and to see lots of photos from past Paloozas, check the Port
Townsend Pocket Yachters website, www.pocketyachters.com

We hope to see several Montys at this year's show and cruise! - Marty

When is Pocket Yacht Palooza in Port Townsend?
    Thought there would be something about it in the recent issue of SCA,
but no luck.  But the magazine did have some good articles about M-boats.

Subject: Re: M_Boats: Intentional Capsize for M15
Jerry says you can get the M15 mast to the water quickly by you being in
the water and reaching up to the bow pulpit.  this will roll the boat right
onto her beam end.  you let go of the pulpit the boat will snap right back
up.
i've never seen an M15 stay over like the SCAMP does.  i've read and talked
with a few folks that went through a knockdown where the boat comes right
back up once the main sheet is released.
last year an M15 did go over and turtle.  boat in heavy wind, on a deep
reach (if i remember correctly), full main and partially rolled up furling
jib, as the boat went over the main wasn't released.

Hi M sailors,
I've been watching a few videos about the SCAMP, which is a small wooden
boat designed by John Welsford. Seems to be a very stable boat and they
did
an interesting Intentional Capsize with the boat to judge stability,
safety, and self-rescue.
I'm sure many of you may have seen the short videos - if not, here are a
couple links for reference.

My question as an M15 owner is if this type of test or intentional
capsize
and recovery has been done on an M15 or M17 or similar boats? I would
suspect it would be much harder to intentionally capsize an M17, but an
M15
seems like this test could be done.
I come from a dinghy sailing background where capsizes are part of the
experience and sure adds to your confidence when you know what will
happen
in a capsize and that you can recover as needed. So that is what got me
thinking along these lines. I know I've read that capsizes and knockdowns
are very rare for M15s but thought this may be a good summer time type of
test/experiment.
If not done intentionally, any stories of capsizes and recovery out
there?
I read the one on msog.org, but hadn't heard of any others. That link
for
reference is: http://msog.org/how-to/how-to_flotjet.cfm#knockdown
Thanks for any insights.
