As a current owner of a swing-keeled Catalina 22, I find your desire for a
swing keel interesting. I am looking to sell my 22 and buy a P19. One of
the main reasons I want a P19 is the centerboard approach which is better
for saltwater (no cables / pivots underwater), eliminates slot drag, and
most importantly allows for the awesome 6" draft compared to 20" on my 22
(launching ease, beachability). My current understanding is that the only
disadvantage is potential damage with hard grounding and perhaps some cabin
inconvenience. That being said, I have never sailed, touched, or even seen
a Potter in person.
