Thanks Dave. Like you, I bought my 192 about 5 or 6 years ago and am extremely happy with the choice. Like you, I didn't care for the roller furling and replaced it immediately with a Hank- on jib. Most of my sailing has been daysailing on lakes in Pennsylvania and Florida, but usually 2 or 3 times a year I've taken 3- day weekends out on the Chesapeake Bay or Tampa Bay. The mast is light enough that I can raise it alone (I re purpose the main sheet to help with hoisting the mast by attaching it to the jib halyard. ) and I built a galley box along the port side of the v- berth, and more storage in the forward port side v- berth. A great boat, well made, still going strong after 30 years!
I have sailed many times with “Trailer Trash!”…put many miles under our keels…always a treat to chase the Kautz’s in my Monty 15!!!

I had a 192 and really regret selling it. I have a precision 18 now and there is quite a difference in room down below
Great read Dave.
