In Response To: P-19 and Turtle (pic) (Robert Griffin P-19 #1505 Sandbob, Tahoe)

Well, I'm glad to hear it is at least rare in the WWP-19! I've yet to sail with the daggerboard up (although I've considered trying it while running to see if I pick up any speed - thinking back to my dinghy days). Robert, you mention carrying extra weight along the mid section. I have two batteries on the starboard side, about where the newer models have the portapotty, and I have a water bag to install this winter. Is your water bag under the sink or slightly forward of that? I seem to have more weight on the port side most of the time - outboard, me, bottles of water, stores. There aren't many easy options for installing the water bag though. Thanks David WWP19 Ohana (#478) Stillwater, MN
