Hey Bill, that's exactly the same conclusion I have, the P18 was rock-steady but I miss that "white-knuckle" experience I used to get on my H16. And to be quite honest, of all the cats I've sailed so far, the '79 H16 I had was by far the quickest boat. I've got a line on some P16 sails, main, jib & battens for $200, in really great condition, S&H $65, great deal, only down-side, they are white. Trying to get the P16 ready by end-of -week, do a shake-down sail, and then plan to get down to Juana's 9/8/12 to meet up with some of thebeachcat sailors for that Regetta.
Who of you from this website are going? ..........
