Ok just went outside to take a pic and my shop light is burnt out so no pic yet. So is a F18 chute too small? I keep hearing that F18's can carry a chute a lot higher than a N20. Is this simply the cut of the chute or the size? I am very interested in making this a fast boat so a chute is a must.

My main is dacron so i would think it may be smarter to hold out for a mylar or pentex main rather than making the original a squaretop?

So how would you compare the P19 with Chute and SQtop to a F18 and N20? Im just curious if this old boat can hang with the newer hot rods? Assuming all the boats have nice mains and chutes with equal sailors. I bought the boat based on what i have been told by others but wonder how accurate these statements are. Everybody i talk to says its a fast boat?
