Seller's Description
Price reduced $2k plus all trailer tires replaced (cost $350) and included in new sale price. Text me, please don’t call first, or email me. This mint condition 2011 West Wight Potter 19 has been well-kept and garage stored. Initially a boat-show demo boat, this model has all the top features and has been treated with care and equipped with numerous high-quality upgrades. This WWP19 is ideal for both beginner and seasoned sailors. Its key feature is the “blue water lay-up,” signifying a stronger hull ready for coastal ocean sailing. Not just seaworthy, the WWP19 is unsinkable and nearly impossible to flip, offering an additional layer of safety for its occupants. It’s the perfect boat for day sailing or extended weekend trips. While I don’t recommend it, an earlier version of this model sailed from California to Hawaii! With the dual reefing points and 140 furling Genoa jib, I have sailed this boat in conditions from 1 kt winds to 38 kt gale winds. It is an incredibly stable boat. Rigged for single-handed sailing. Mast can be raised/lowered by one person. Boat can be launched, sailed, and recovered by one person. This boat has been used almost exclusively in freshwater lakes. Selling because we bought a bigger boat for month-long trips.
Equipment: Set up for multiday cruising with sink, stove, 32 qt. ice chest and table. 15 gal freshwater supply. Porta-Potti head. Kick-up beaching rudder. Draft with centerboard up is only 6-inches. (Draft with ctrbd down is 3’ 7”.) Can be easily beached or anchored. Tiller tamer for hands free sailing. Four portlights, two are opening with screens. 8-hp Honda long-shaft motor. Trailer is in excellent condition. Dual house batteries with built in charger and added solar panel for maintenance charging. Dri-Deck interior floor mat. Garmin depth finder and marine maps/plotter for navigation. GPS Standard Horizons marine radio for communication including emergency broadcast. Bluetooth MP3 stereo radio for onboard entertainment. Comfortable 2.5-inch thick cockpit seat cushions. Adjustable fore-aft Bimini for perfect shading. Furling 140 Genoa (plus original jib as a spare). Whisker pole for flying wing-on-wing. Numerous telltales added to aid trimming. Second reefing point installed on the mainsail. Mainsail reefing bungees to secure sail stack. Upgraded centerboard hoist with 4:1 pulleys and Amsteel line. All lighting upgraded to LEDs, including navigation lights and anchor light. Anchor chain upgraded, and a longer rode installed. Backstay upgraded with lever tensioner. All running rigging replaced in 2021. Standing rigging forestay and backstay upgraded in 2021, side stays in excellent condition. Two AGM deep cycle marine batteries replaced in 2021. Easy mast raising with gin pole system. Running rigging on gin pole replaced in 2021. Teak handrails with covers. Covers for rudder, motor, front hatch, bimini, mainsail and jib. Wind Hawk indicator with masthead VHF high-gain antenna. Docking fenders and docking lines included.

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.
