Seller's Description
Up for sale is a beautiful West Wight Potter 19, which is ready to sail. We bought this boat and then had the opportunity to buy a bigger one. This beautiful boat needs to go. From the previous owner, I understand that this boat was initially won as a prize on the “Price is Right” show. It sat unused for many years. The man I bought it from lived in Longview and sailed on the Columbia river. The design for the West Wight Potters was inspired by a similar style of boat commonly used on the Isle of Wight in the U.K. The designers original goal was to have a boat that was at the same time safe, fun to sale and which could be towed by virtually any vehicle. The design was a great success and MANY WWP’s have been built over the years. It’s rare, however, to find one in such great condition at an affordable price! This boat is literally an adventure waiting to happen. At this price, you are getting a great deal!
Equipment: Here are a list of a few highlights: *it comes with the amazing Garmin Echomap 93sv Chartplotter with transducer securely installed with easy cockpit access. With this onboard, you’ll always know exactly where you are and you can even see underwater with the “Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar.” *it has a brand new mainsail (never been used) *it has a newer CDI furler and sail on the genoa *it has an upgraded RudderCraft flip-up rudder and mast support *it has an almost new Toshiba 6hp Sail Drive outboard (this model charges the battery while under power) *it has a new, upgraded winch to get the boat on and off the trailer *it has a new galley, with a compact one burner stove and sink it has four births in the cabin, one on each side and a forward V-birth. *it has a never used PortaPotty *it comes with a nice galvanized trailer *it has a Danforth anchor that attaches to the bow pulpit with galvanized chain and rode *all the “brightwork” (teak hand rails, etc.) has recently been refinished *the bottom was recently sanded to bare fiberglass with a fresh coat of Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote NT Antifouling Paint

Calculations

7.7 kn
Classic: 5.49 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
18.4
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
30.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
116.1
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
7.4
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.8
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
aka POTTER 19.
An earlier version was the HMS 18.
