The P165 can have same sail area due to more weight being at the bulb of the keel[?] I have not heard anyone say anything bad about the sailing design of any of the precision models. (Except for the guy that could not handle his 185). Beware, I did not stay at a holiday in last night. PS. I bought a precision because it has a shoal draft keel and did not have its ballast in the centerboard. PPS. “Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.” Archimedes.
