Hi Guys,

jumping on to the end of this post on an 18, I am hoping to go and have look at a Prindle 19, UK boat 1991 in the next couple of days. I would imagine the comprehensive advice given will also hold true for a 19(?). Anything else on top of that to look for?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. She is on original sails and tramp with road and beach trolley for a reasonable price.

I am new to the list/forum. I don't know what the score is on the forum as I am used to falconry forums, where you are expected to introduce yourself,

I am returning to sailing after a 15 year absence from racing monohulls but am about 220llbs (most of it on the shoulders but a smidgeon on the stomach<g>) and intend to leisure sail it and then eventually race it, once I have got the skill levels back up and either force fed my daughters to a suitable weight or recruited a willing victim (crew) from my local sailing club.

regards

Pete
