I find that on my P-19, I almost always sail on main and lapper. I have
waffled back an forth between leading the jib sheets for the lapper inside
the shrouds (so I can point higher) or outside the shrouds (so the sail
takes on a more natural shape when not close hauled.

I'd like to request an informal survey of what P-19 skippers find works
best. How many prefer leading them inside vs how many outside (and of
course why!).
