I've been sailing my P19 for 11 years with the standard 7/16" line. I've replaced it once. When the line is new it really flies out when released. I'm not sure if many other sailors do this but I keep one wrap of the mainsheet around my hand and keep my arm close to my body. This way I can release one arm length quickly. I've rarely had to dump the sheet completely because I have the squaretop main that twists off and my crew cranks on the downhaul in gusts. My main problem with the setup of the P19 is the traveller. It doesn't haul in or out easily. I've sailed other cats with Harken travellers that worked great. My traveller has 5/16" line. Does anyone have an idea that would make it easier for me to handle the traveller from the wire? When it's blowing 18 or more I usually come in off the wire on a reach so I have more control to dump the traveller to stay upright. Thanks, Greg
