Seller's Description
For Sale - Vegas - 2005 Potter 19 Blue Water Lay Up Hull with One Piece $ 1000.00 Ruddercraft Blue Water Rudder
This boat has been modified for Safe Ocean Coastal and Island Cruising with safety and contingency as job # one!!
It is truly a Hot Rod Potter 19.
Everything is set up to be controlled from the cockpit. I am not a solo sailing advocate myself, but this is a perfect single handed configuration without needing to leave the cockpit to go forward or below to operate sails, switches or electronics.
Electrical Wiring Mod:
Completely Rewired, where the distribution and buss components are mounted in 2 watertight pelican cases on the interior starbord cabin/ cockpit bulkhead.
There is a water tight marine glove box on the cockpit side of the bulkhead that houses the Main Power disconect, voltmeter and switch panel. So all electrics are controlled from the cockpit!
When I first bought the boat I complete gutted all wiring for this configuration and used all wire sizes to standard code. Example: # 6 wire for all battery 12 dc run to busses. Safe wiring and code compliance means a fire on the water will not occur due to wires overheating! The factory wiring and component locations on the Potters are hidden.
All new wiring is run on the starbord side of the cabin and exposed in plain sight affix to the cabin wall.. Not run under cabinets impossible to access with keel up on the trailer as was the factory install.
There is a new 30,000 lumin horizontal bar bow light that makes it like daylight when docking the boat at night
Fuel System Components:
To eliminate a gas can on the floor of the cockpit deck as a fire safety and tripping hazzard, I purchased a 5 gallon Alum race car fuel tank and perminatly afixted it to the foredeck. Giving a 5 hp Outboard a 10 hr plus motoring range with reserve.
There is a An-6 3/8” anodized alum fuel shut off valve mounted on the tank. The fuel is run to the stern via a 3/8” fuel line also using AN-6 anodized connectors. The fuel in is protected by SS
Equipment: International Marine West White Potter 19 Blue Water lay up hull with one piece rudder

Calculations

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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
