[quote=MN3]P19's are great boats. i have sailed 19's and 19mx's. fun and fast boats, powerful (anther boat based off the olympic racing catamaran of the 70's through the early 2000's) so it is a race boat. can be depowered, and fine for island hopping / cruising: but at it's dna it is a racecat
but with a furling jib, correct sheeting settings all around, and knowledgable skipper (that weighs more than jockey) should be able to handle it in light to med-heavy air solo-
i am 180 and own a 5.5 and 6.0 of the same cat design. i love my 5.5 solo in most winds, appreciate some rail meat in heavier air - my 6.0 i don't enjoy in big air solo - so i reduce sail area by using my smaller (5.5) main and jib for days that look gusty or a bit too much for me to enjoy.
i need crew for heavy air or i am out of my "comfort zone"
if your talking about the one for $1900 - looks pretty good but I would need lots more pics - usual rust and wear spots esp
and details details details.. ask about any repairs, soft spots, rust spots, replaced parts, any known issues, what would he do maintenance on next if he kept it, salt or lake exposure? what has he done for maintenance, basically all those qustions about the trailer too, when can we rig it? when can we take it sailing? etc
jib sounds dead (usable but blown out aka ... dead), tramp restitched sounds like it is end of life ... so there is about $1k in needed/could really benefit from updating eqip off the bat can't tell if the main is an older mylar but if it is they have short lives with poor storing ... and that's a pricey thing to replace ...[/quote]
