Hi Lee, think I 'm the first European to respond?
I'm sailing my third P15 now, great boat solo, sometimes take my wife or kids with me, up to 140kg, no problem. I've saild them uni, with jib (h14 jib) and with gennaker. Coast and lake.
Difficult to tack, needs some practice, but after P15 every cat is easy to tack.
Smyth sails are Ok, but I have a square top (Performance) sail, 1;6 downhaul, makes it realy quick.
Btw P15 never won Texel, just second place! Can win handicap races though, in the right circumstances. Faster then P16.
In the Netherlands are still a lot around, few are also racing
Just buy it!
