I've had my P-19 out on Lake Michigan twice in the last three weeks.
The 1st time the weather went bad and we had to beat up wind and into seas
that got into the 6-8ft range.
The 2nd time this past weekend we had to run on a broad reach (mainly) and
take the seas abeam, which were running 4-5ft.
Neither time after we were safely back in town and at dock did I see where
the cabin sole was wet at all.
Maybe I'm just lucky and my keel trunk doesn't leak (knock on wood).
