Here in N Mississippi we pay $200 a year, $25 extra per boat per year. Mast up at the club right next to the ramp and there's a beach right there too. Takes 15 min tops to have the boat rigged and sailing.

You mentioned seeing a couple of strands broken on the standing rigging. I strongly suggest that you replace all the shrouds very soon, that's an indication of imminent failure, which would be a big deal if you're sailing offshore. Also, keep a close eye on the fiberglass cracks, if they're expanding at all you're at risk of a big adventure.
If your only issue with the 19 is the mast raising, contact me and I'll send pics of a couple of gin poles I've fabricated inexpensively that make the process easy and safe.

the rigging has been replaced. I have been testing the cracks from time to time, I think the patching should hold up a few seasons, I put down a few layers of fiberglass. It is sensitive b/c it's the area where you trap and sit so there's quite a bit of weight that also focuses right on the cracks when you trap out.
