Ah Yes .... reaching along .... I remember the pretty rainbows made w/ the bowspray on the P19 has you run from "A" to "B" mark.
We also compete here in several "Point to Point" races, ie: Distance races, w/ course lengths from 35miles to ??? with the "Big" boats. GREAT PARTIES!!!! It took us several years to be accepted but now everyone cheers us as we charge by,(we start last) running down the PHRF A0 boats. Several times it's come down to a tacking duel between a 70-80ft monohull and a 20ft beach cat on the last beat to the finish line!!!!! I call it the "Mice among the Elephants" .... it is a HOOT .... Then everyone drinks beer together ....
So most of our 20ft beach cats here tend to be maximized out but also be very adjustable on the water because of the types of racing and highly varible conditions here on the Chesapeake Bay.
