I had one more piece of advice that I omitted from my post. An important part of getting a P18-2 or P19 to point is to get your weight way forward when the wind picks up. The skipper should be near the middle of the boat and the crew should be even with the main beam. This assumes both skipper and crew weigh 165lbs. Regardless, you want to get that leeward bow depressed. You'll be surprised how much it helps your pointing ability.
