The Genoa with a roller furling system is well worth the expense on a P19.
Sail configuration can be changed quickly and safely as conditions dictate.

Yep. If I only had one headsail, >in the waters I usually sail in<, I think
I'd want the genoa, second choice (close) would be the lapper. I've used
the
working jib only once. I expect to only use that tiny diaper when I've got
a
gale going and not a lot of crew aboard to hike out to keep her level. But
with fall arriving and the higher winds we get in Seattle during the fall,
winter, and spring, I may use it more often.
