I lived in Maui for a few years and owned a P-19 and in the summer it blows hard every day, normally 25 plus. I bought a set of P-16 sails added a pigtail for the difference in luff length, beefed up the head, tack and clew at the locally sailmakers. The boat was totaly in control and still very fast. For a few hundred dollars I still could go sailing almost every day.
