2000 West Wight Potter 15 by International Marine West Wight Potter 15 was purchased new with delivery in the spring of 2000. I am the second owner. It has been kept in a garage or under covers when not in use. Its a solid simple boat thats simply not enjoying enough use.
Key details: Includes boat, motor, and WA state registered trailer Includes sails, lines, and misc equipment
More details/specs 15 feet long 475 lbs displacement with 165 lb lifting keel centerboard ballast Positively buoyant/unsinkable 7 inches of draft with centerboard raised; 3 feet of draft with centerboard lowered Bottom painted with proper boat bottom paint for a single season where it was kept in a marina during the summer (paint job is so-so as it was my first attempt). Note, some photos are pre bottom paint. Sail area to displacement: 24 Ballast to displacement: 35%

Equipment: Equipment: White mainsail, jib and genoa, Stainless steel bow pulpit and cockpit rails, Transom boarding ladder, Kick up beaching rudder. Rudder includes original handle plus a compact handle with tiller extender to provide more room in the cockpit), Boom vang, running lights and panel, mast light, interior cabin light, battery tray (needs new battery), Interior cushions, All running lines plus miscellaneous lines, Anchor and line, Various misc spare parts and accessories, Garges steel boat trailer Rated for 1200 lbs (more than enough for a WWP 15) Good condition Licensed and registered in Washington State Trailer has lifetime tabs (under WA DOL website, look up intermittent use tabs. These are one time tabs that avoid annual registration provided the trailer is not used professionally). 3.5 HP Nissan two stroke outboard motor Good conditioned and well maintained Tested very recently; started right up
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Based on the earlier WWP 14.
