[quote=tstein]I love the Prindle 19 once tuned up it’s a well mannered rocket sled that’s a sure fire good ride. I have discovered predictive feedback when sailing it right and have learned a lot about correct sail trim and hull trim. Although it’s a dated design there’s enough go-fast tweaking controls to squeeze out every knot of speed. Best upgrade outside of new sails was installing a jib furler which enables significant depowering especially when singlehanded.
For the past year and a half I have been building a wooden sailboat (Core Sound 20 Mk3) in the garage. Upon completion next spring I expect to put my Prindle 19 on the market to free up yard space. It’s a gem of a boat with tons of spares parts, sails and gear. Age and injuries are catching up with my ego.[/quote]
