Jerry Barrilleaux, Commodore of the Potters Yachters, has made up kits for
adding a backstay to the P19's with the lighter weight masts. It adds a
"crane" to the top of the mast and a fitting on the transom. I think he
still has a few available. You can contact him directly by email at
Magico1@aol.com for the price and to answer any questions you may have.
You can see pictures and installation instructions on my Potter Website:

Hope this is what you're looking for
