[quote=JohnES][quote=jalex]What was the biggest change? I would guess from the P18 to the P18-2? [/quote]
More so going to the NACRA 5.8 Norte - Merica rig... the boom-less main took a while to figure out along with the mast rotator, and that upper Manhattan apartment size jib sail... broad reaches were awesome... It had a lot more power and was a hair trigger with flipping if not managed correctly and also moving up to a spinnaker with that boat...
The transition from the 18 to the 18-2 was pretty benign... there were a few more adjustments but setting up the boat with the rudders, mast stepping, and a few other Prindle nuances made the transition easy... and you could still run that boat up on the beach with not worrying too much about trashing the boards or rudders...[/quote]
