Topping Lift:
We have a simple topping lift that has a boat snap hook
at the bottom end to make it easy to attach and detach.
We haven't ever really needed to adjust it.

Genoa Track:
When we got our genoa for the P15 from Sailrite last
year we couldn't find a good place to attach a track.
(I don't fit real well under the cockpit seats!)
What we did was get 2 Harken 061 Stanchion bases. They
are clamped around the middle support of the cockpit
rails facing about 15 degrees outwards from forward.
Attched to each one is a Harken 362 (Single with cam
and becket). This is not optimal since it isn't
adjustable but we don't race and it has worked good
enough so I don't plan on changing it! We find that
we use the genoa abot 80% of the time.

Jib Downhaul:
We also installed a jib down haul. They are easy
to install, cost little and are a great asset if
you don't have roller furling.

New old boat:
S2 23 (7.0) We pick it up on Sunday, it's on a trailer
weighs about 3800 lbs......Oh no what have I done!
We plan to keep both the P15 and the S2-23.
