This is my first post: I teach sailing for the Boy Scouts at St. George Island, we have 10 Hobie 16's, Hobie 18sx, and my chase boat is a Prindle 19mx, We sail in the Apalachicola Bay (Near Panama city) which has very shallow depths and many unseen oyster bars. The Prindle has center boards and handles this area quite well, an Inter or Nacra would be destroyed in this shallow bay here due to their 5' daggerboards. My question is why are they building daggerboard boats when centerboards are safer and can take a beach landing? Also is the Prindle 19mx still competive in todays world of Inter 20's and other carbon (aka fragile) based boats? Thank you for reading my post. www.brycehale.com
