I have not sailed P-15 ever :-( but I am quite sure my Nancy's China is
practically same boat. Both are pocker-cruisers with small cabin and
with some ballast. I must admit that P15's cockpit is much better than
NC's cockpit. If you heel NC too much then she will get water into
cockpit and then you are in trouble. I will fix that during next winter.
I will install lockers into cockpit and cockpit coamings.

If you want to see NC here is a link:

Thomas, Thomas... I am too shy, we all Finns are shy ;-)
By the way you helped me a lot two years ago when you sent photos of
your P15 and your friends Nancy China! Thank you very much, they really
help me. There is so much information in one picture...

You are wellcome to Europe! It's worth it. If some of you fellow Potters
come to Finland just contact me and we can go to sailing for day or two.

I would have some much questions about P15 and P19, but I am not keen on
writing English so that is why I am a little bit lazy to ask and
comment.
But it is great to read your stories!

Keep on sailing,
Oskari
