Tell me an experiences with 19 ft with winds a about 20mph. Billby frwilliam - sailmfg
When I registered mine it read on the papers as under 750lbs. I learned to sail my 19 and I love it. I have 5 sails and it can handle just about any weather. The sail lake can be very challenging but this boat has done very well. Now I sail a 27 foot and I think my expereince with the 19 gave the skills to do that. I have people trying the buy the 19 but it is not for sale. I keep it atby frwilliam - sailmfg
Retype: This is paramount to the great handling of the boat. There are ways to put side weights on each side of the keel to rebalacne but these are a lot of work.by frwilliam - sailmfg
I don't know. If you raise the boom your shortten the sail. One would have to either shortten by reefing or have a shorter sail made. if one made a new mast to accomodate the original sail it would give the benefit of a better fitting Genoa but the downside is the genral balance of the craft would be altered.

This boat is a small wonder and doubles as a floating camp trailer. It handles well heels to the max and rounds up almost by itself. Ho much are they wanting for the 19 with tlr?by frwilliam - sailmfg
My 19 sits cold in the howling winds of the Great Salt Lake, but what a time we had till late November. This boat almost sails in no wind and handles higher winds great. I have scared myself in to a few rushes but this boat is a lot of fun. I had to oppertunity to by an Erikson 27 but I don't think it has a lot more to offer than my MFG 19 ... and it sails not only in amost no wind but amost nby frwilliam - sailmfg
After much upset and unsettled circumstances (not boat upset) I have finally soloed my mfg 19 in the great salt lake. I have been out in for abut 16 hours 5 of them sailing without anyone onboard. I can only say I love it. The boat is east to hand but is a little light in the keel. How many of the mfg 19's were sold? NO ONE has heard of them. All involved think they are great sailersby frwilliam - sailmfg

I have been busy with painters and floor folk remodeling my 8 year old house. I have not had time to even look at the sails. I did get a slip at the Great Salt Lake Marina so I can try to sail her soon. Am taking lessons there in addition to the birth. In my packet form the purchase there is a couple of things that came with it 30 years ago. One is a two page thing from the facotry and tby frwilliam - sailmfg
