I have no doubt. P19s are astounding in their ability to help one "weather"
bad conditions and (sometimes) foolish mistakes. I've been far and wide in
quite varied conditions -- including the truly ugly -- and have never felt
threatened. Beat up and uncomfortable on occasion, but not threatened.

The other thing that, to me, is astounding is the room they offer. When I
was planning the boat purchase a decade and a half ago, I had no idea she
would be an actual, capable, multi-person **cruising** boat -- witness the
Bahamas experience and like similar but less extreme cruises Ursa and I have
made.

Enjoy.
