After many years of sailing and adventuring in this well-loved small cabin sailboat, I have decided that I need something larger. The world famous West Wight Potter 15 sloop is one of the best known and oldest sailboats in the cruising fraternity.
Over 2,600 of these attractive compact cruisers currently sail all over the world. The Potter 15 has a noteworthy record of sailing successes, including sailing single-handed from Seattle to Ketchikan and from England to Sweden across the North Atlantic. In addition to frequent day sails, I have personally enjoyed many multi-day cruising adventures aboard this amazingly capable little craft.
In addition, this little boat has the unique distinction of being the ONLY West Wight Potter 15’ to ever complete the 300-mile Everglades Challenge from Tampa/St. Pete to Key Largo, FL!
