[quote=lmoas][quote=texastuma][quote=lmoas]Hello all, been working away on my P19 for some time, getting it up to speed. I have a lot of questions about the setup and unfortunately can't find a ton of great references online for the specifics, including the manual.
Is there anyone willing to share some photos of various parts of the setup? Specifically, I have some questions about the downhaul rigging and which cleats it employs, the jib furler, centerboard setup - I've seen people use lines that run through the front crossbar cleats and wasn't sure if that's the intended setup.
Will try to get my own reference photos this week so maybe people can give me pointers regarding what's right and wrong with it.[/quote]
Ping me if you need to... I've owned a 19 for 20-ish years and did a number of modifications.
- downhaul: This is a free for all. There are so many variations that you'll have to just figure it out. For the cleats, there should be a pivoting sheave with a cam cleat that will pivot about 160 degrees. For the purchase, you'll have to keep running through blocks until you run out of blocks. Most will run an 8:1.
- I did race with a furler - loved it.. I also added a bow foil like the N6.0 and N5.5.
- Boards: I have mine where they are bungee loaded down and a line pulls them forward. If I hit something, the board comes up and can be pulled back down automatically by the bungee cord. It does add lines and complications. If you like to fiddle and experiment, build something but keeping it simple is king.
This is one of the great things of these boats... if you want to do something on them, do it. Unless you want to race it in strict one-design class - you can do anything you want to. Even racing, we would have 5 19's racing and every one of them were set up differently - even different sail plans. With the age, I'm sure things have been changed and modified so it's hard to determine what was original.[/quote]
awesome, thanks so much. getting to tackling these things piece by piece. if you could share a photo of the bungee setup that'd be super helpful...have a lot of issues with boards riding up at high speeds.
other question - what exactly makes the prindle rudder castings "sided?" they seem symmetric to me, but was wondering what the difference is[/quote]
