19' International Marine West Wight Potter 19

Well cared for and well found. Always sailed on fresh water, currently stored indoors. This famous little cruising design has been across the Atlantic and to Hawaii, but its also great on the urban lakes, Mille Lacs, Rainy in Voyageurs or even the Apostle Islands in Superior. On its custom trailer you can take it anywhere with a modest tow vehicle and even store it in your garage when you get home!

Lots of great gear, really too much to list here.

Please contact me for photos, a full equipment list, and/or any details or questions.

The West Wight Potter 19 is a recreational keelboat, with a hard chine hull, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller, and a vertically lifting fin keel.

The boat has a draft of 3.58 ft (1.09 m) with the lifting keel extended and 0.50 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The keel is retracted from the cockpit by a winch and fully retracts.

A 2008 review by John Kretschmer noted, "while plenty of Potters have made impressive passages, most are sailed quietly on lakes, bays and coastline all over the country. Most importantly, they're almost universally admired by the folks who own them, and for good reason."
