We study renormalizability of external angles of the Mandelbrot set M . Estimates are made of the logarithmic capacity of sets of angles that are infinitely renormalizable with a specific sequence of periods, using a substitution due to Douady. These show that many of the infinitely renormalizable rays do land on M , which provides further evidence in support of the conjecture that M is locally connected.
