"It was cold and overcast in our part of Indiana. However, we wanted to get our new M15 launched before she was put away for the winter and The nearest body of water is Winona Lake. Not the ideal sailing lake, but about 20 miles closer than Lake Wawasee, (much larger - much nicer) and permitted us to do a sail by as Kim (first mate and wife of 24 years), braving the elements with us, took some photos. If you look closely in either of the top outer photos, you will see my M15 ball cap I ordered from Sean Mulligan (M23 Dauntless).

The wind on this day was mixed. We started out with very light winds, then after a while it did pick up and became lively. Our new M15 would easily out sail the Seward fox in light air and she handled the gusts nicely. Even with inexperienced crew, (first time sailing for the boys), the M15 lived up to the reputation as a seaworthy and easy to handle craft.

Purchased a Monty 17', "Grace." I wanted to see which fit me the best for my struggling newness to sailing. I did sell "Grace" and kept Midnite.

June 2019- I have sold this great boat. I cannot tow it and a travel trailer at the same time. What a wonderful boat for sure.
