I have never seen a Prindle 19 in person, but from what I have seen in photos and read about them, I would agree a Prindle 19 is the newest/fastest/best boat. It is what I would ultimately like to have. I initially really wanted a Hobie 21 for is size and wings, but after sailing my Prindle 18 and dealing with my local water access I would have to agree that a Hobie 21 would be just too difficult to deal with.

Now if I had water front, mast up storage that would be a different story all together.

QuotePrindle 18-2 or 19 has centerboards which are great for shallow water. The Nacra 5.2(?), 5.5 and 6.0 as well as Hobie 18 and 20 have daggerboards and are less forgiving when running aground.

Don't forget Mystere 5.5 and 6.0
