If you plan on only single handing your boat, as I do, why not consider the
P-15? It is a breeze to rig and sail, easy to trailer and slips into just
about any garage. Does it handle rough water? You bet! I have spent many
days sailing on Lake Tahoe when others have headed for shore. Overnight?
Fine. I have spent up to four evenings in a row on my P-15 quite comfortably.
Many have spent weeks.
Even for two, the P-15 is fine, but for one, it is perfect. When it was new I
could rig it by myself in about 40 minutes. I'm down to about 15 or twenty
now.
My P-15 is equipped with stereo, four stroke outboard that will motor
comfortably all day, bimini for sunny days, barbecue for pleasant evenings,
sails for heavy air and sails for light breezy afternoons. My dog, a cocker,
has found it comfortable for seven years.
The boat is safe, simple to sail, and a breeze to maintain. The costs of
upkeep and maintenance are negligible.
You might want to join one of our sails and rig and ride in a P-15 and/or help
rig and ride in a P-19. You may want to give this diminutive cruiser some
thought.

Group,
Although I've been sitting here watch the Potter traffic for well over a
year, I have never asked a question.
The interesting thread on single handling the mast raising and my own
situation in which I'm beached because I have no solo experience and no on=
e
I can call upon to cruise with me leads me to ask an open ended question
about other aspects of singlehandling the boat.
Simple sail handling appears easy enough once the sails are up and in plac=
e
but how about the process of raising sails? How about approaching the doc=
k
or slip without another pair of hands? Anchoring seems a breeze next to
docking. Oh yes, in the northwest we have a lot of buoys; how do I tie up
on a buoy single handed? There have to be a lot of other, similar
situations that I haven't thought of. Your answers as a group of interest=
ed
sailors would be appreciated and they may encourage me to get this boat ou=
t
of my driveway and back in the water where it belongs.
