The instructions for rigging the mainsheet on the P.19's are wrong! The
hardware is correct, but the routing diagram is incorrect. I wrote to Scott
at I.M. and he said it will get corrected as soon as possible. If you are
always fussing with the mainsheet while tacking, or if she doesn't to come
about at all, this could be the problem. The proper set up is to have a
double block on the boom, a single block on starboard, and a single block
with a becket on the port side.
the sheet starts at the becket on the port side, goes through the double
on the boom, over to the starboard block. Then back through the double over
to the port block, and back to the mainsheet cleat. If your boat isn't set up
like this I strongly recommend changing it. Jerry Barrilleaux (Commodore,
