IMHO Best easy things you can do for safety is add slugs to the main, and
add a jib downhaul. As a fellow chicken sailor, there's nothing like being
able to get those sails down fast! If you are going to single-hand I would
strongly suggest running the halyards back to the cabin.
If I remember, as soon as I bought my P-19 there was some similar
discussions about the quality of the boat (happens every so often). Scared
the heck out of me, but once you get it and sail it, you'll have no
doubts!!!
