2008 West Wight Potter 15 I’ve been the only owner. Fully documented that I bought it new August 2007. It was delivered March 2008. All original in great condition - I’ve made no modifications. Mainly used as a day sailer on Clinton Lake in Central Illinois.
Original North Sails in great condition
The interior cushions have been stored and never used. I never overnighted.
Completely rigged and ready to sail
Equipment: West Wight Potter’s Premium Package including:
EZ Loader Boat Trailer with (unused) spare mounted on the hitch. Honda 2 H.P. Outboard Engine and adjustable Motor Mount on the stern. “Blue Water” heavy duty fiberglass hull and deck. Composite beachable Rudder with wood tiller. Boom Vang (keeps the boom level). Opening Port Windows with screens
Additional factory options:
Upgrade to 140% Genoa (jib), Genoa Blocks and Tracks, High Performace Main Sail CDE Roller Furling for the Genoa Fast Rig Package Single Hander’s Package Tiller Tamer Magnetic Compass, mounted Bimini (Sunbrella Cloth blue cockpit sunshade), excellent condition Sunbrella Cloth blue Cockpit Seat Cushions in excellent condition Sunbrella Cloth blue Boom and Mainsail, Hatch, and Rail covers in excellent condition Sunbrella Cloth blue Full Boat cover, very good condition, but rain stained on top Anchor, line, and pulpit attachment Never used, still wrapped Thetford Porta Potti
Plus additional items I’ve accumulated over the years, such as a freon boat horn and BK Book’s The Complete Sailing Manual
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.
