Reply to: purchase of a Prindle 19 as a starter cat?

[quote=emmettv]I picked up a P19mx(racing version) 2 summers ago with very little sailing experience . Wanted a boat to work into and not have to move up in a year or 2. Let me tell you ..we had some great days and a few bad ones !!.. when wind picked up over 12 knots , this boat really takes off . Took one summer to learn how to control her and by the 2nd summer with more confidence, sailing was amazing ! As long as you un cleat your sails and position into the wind ,righting should not be a problem. We are about 185lbs each and she just makes it up when our backs are just about to the water.This is obviously an older designed boat ,but the local Narca 18's can't keep up. All this to say you need to expect going over quite a few times until you learn to control her .But once in control ,you'll have some great sailing . Good Luck Emmett Valliere Montreal, Canada[/quote]
