[quote=turborat]I have sailed the P-19 for many years ... upgraded to the P-19mx and sailed it for many more years. Excellent boat for someone your size. You will love it. Also, I have raised masts single handedly for years. Did it on my prindle 18, on my P19 and did it on my Tornado. You learn tricks and yes you can adapt poles and cranks. Personally, I would not let that influence my decision. With the upgraded rudders, assuming the boat is in good to fair condition, I don't think $2500 is out of line. I've seen them go for less, and I've seen them go for more. the biggest question is the condition of the main. That style of mylar was famous delaminating (separation of material).
You can also adapt it with a rolling furler on the jib. Which depending upon your skill level, might not be a bad idea.
Good Luck !!
