I don't remember sailing a 15 with more than one other person, but I've had them really loaded down for Mexico cruising and don't remember having more than  a "wet" cockpit in rough seas. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "W David Scobie" <wdscobie@yahoo.com> i found that the M15 would 'siphon' water into the cockpit (less than 1/2-inch) under these conditions - beam reach and downwind in lumpy seas and light wind (lots of boat motion) in lumpy seas more than two adults of average weight in the cockpit in moderate winds on a reach and downwind. once water enters the cockpit the floor must be level (or really full of water) for it to drain. beating to the wind you can have a couple of inches 'in the corners'. dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA former M15 owner visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Sandra Anton <sailrsandy@yahoo.com> wrote: I just lauched my 2006 Montgomery 15 this week for the first time in Barnegat Bay NJ, and there is water in the sole of the cockpit almost all the time. Any one had this happen to them? Am I doing something wrong. Had 3 pjeople in the boat including myself. ?? Sandy
