1992 West Wight Potter 15
Edelweiss-Sail # 1936
HMS-International Marine’s highly sought-after and hard-to-find 15’ pocket-yacht/day-sailer FOR SALE in N. Central Indiana, 2 hours east of Chicago.
Fiberglas mono-hull construction with outboard motor bracket, but no motor offered with this sale. Ready to go in the water and enjoy this summer, but with some cabin interior ceiling cosmetic gel-coat work that could be done later in the off season. This is the “basic boat” with plenty of opportunity for any level of customization, add-ons, or convenience/comfort enhancements you might wish to add later. Comes with a galvanized trailer, two good tires mounted, with one spare, 1-7/8 hitch ball. The hull is white with blue accent pin striping…three very good crisp sails…white with red, blue, and gold accents. Companionway cover is a smoked gray plexiglas 3” foam cabin/bunk cushions are in very good shape with a smoky gray-green woven fabric covering.
Extras include four life jackets, two paddles, a trailer dolly. All lines and standing rigging in good shape, as is the rudder/tiller which was completely rebuilt. This is a well-cared-for boat ideal for anybody new to sailing, couples/young family, or anyone who just wants to cruise. Boat has always been garaged during the winters by the current owner. ASKING: $2,500, cash-only. Additional pictures can be furnished upon request or Call/TEXT: 574-210-7931
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.
