I have just purchased a 1986 P19 with the old rudder system and have been thinking about changing out the rudder system for a Nacra system. I have a Nacra 5.2 and would agree that the rudder blades for the 5.2 are 32" long and would be to short. I have a spare set of castings and a set of 5.8 blades that are 35" long that I mounted on the P19 and just looking at it I would think that it may work. The surface area of blade that is below the bottom of the transom is close to the P19 rudders. The angle of the transom on the P19 is not as great as the Nacra so when the rudders are pulled down and stop against the castings the leading edge of the blade tucks under the hull. I am thinking of placing an adjustable stop at the bottom of the casting so the rake of the rudder can be adjusted. Have you heard of any one else doing this and did they have any success[/quote]
