My tag recently changed from H20 to P15 and I'm "chuffed to bits" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> with the move.

In the 22 months we had the Miracle 20 we raced a dozen or so points regattas and two NAC's, which was a blast, big fleets here in the midwest and great people racing in them, but other than racing, the boat was sailed I think four times recreationaly. Just too much of a hassle to put together for an afternoons' sail. Traveling away from our immediate area was necessary to race hence rising fuel costs was a bit of a consideration. Making the decision to sell left the backup H16 as the only boat left to rec sail and I don't feel completely comfortable (@75kgs) soloing two-up boats.

My poor man's A/F16/? Prindle 15 weighs 260#'s (reportedly, haven't weighed mine), has a rotating mast, and darn near as fast as a H16 (DP-N 76.2 vs 76.0) Although I'm learning how to tack all over again (I was bestowed the nickname "Iron Man" my first day out), it's very nice to have something I can rig, launch and sail alone when our crew life schedule doesn't allow racing or rec sailing our H16.
