West Wight Potter 19 Boat Reviews
Boat Review Date: November 2009 Author: Mike Brown Overview
A 21 st century trailer sailer. It might not have the catchiest of names, but I found everything else about the West Wight Potter 19 delightful. The concept of trailer sailers has always struck me as a good one, and I have never worked out why interest in them died. I am happy to say to this one, “Welcome back.”
And boy, have they come on in the meantime. The typical trailer sailer of the 70s was skimpily finished, had so-so fittings and equipment, and many of them sailed poorly. An exception that comes to mind was the Windrush centre cockpit boat, a very good sailer but on the claustrophobic side for cruising - something the Potter is not. This boat has excellent sailing ability, top of the range gear, first class finish, day and night space for four, and a good cruising fit-out – all within an overall length of only 5.64m.
And for a price of $39,500, it is worth mentioning. How much powerboat would you get for that? And what would the relative running costs be? The review Potter had a 5hp Suzuki on the back, and the brief time it would run each trip would add up to small change in a year.
Costs aside, this is a great little yacht in its own right. Hard chined instead of the near universal round bilge, it has buoyancy in useful places. With three large males in the cockpit it did not drag its tail, and when hit by gusts the heeling was surprisingly limited. The drop keel also helped there; unlike the usual swing keel it is a dagger board of 19mm galvanised plate that lowers to a respectable 1.09m draught. It is raised and lowered by a winch next to the helmsman and, once down, is secured in place by four Highfield clips.
The dagger board case takes up little cabin space and forms part of the structure of the moveable table, although the cockpit table is likely to get more use. This other table is an ingenious part time use of the washboard at the cabin entrance.
The cabin, Tardis-like, has room for an astonishing number of items. Bunks forward, converting to a double bed; bunks aft extending under the cockpit seats; a one-burner stove, a sink and an icebox; a chemical toilet; a battery and 12v outlet, and there is even a reasonable amount of storage space. The whole interior is easy to clean because the hull is double-skinned with foam filling (importers Seagreen Marine specified the optional heavy lay-up for the outer skin), giving a smooth and hard surface except for the carpeted headliner. Oiled timber trim relieves any starkness.
This is a genuine weekend cruiser for a family or even two adult couples. Locally its natural grounds would be between Yanchep and Mandurah, and its easy trailing means they could be one-way trips. Trailing weight is 980kg on the braked trailer, so it is towable by practically any car. And portability extends its stamping ground to anywhere in Australia; Shark Bay and the Montebellos are obvious targets, and one prospective owner has Lake Argyle in mind. En route, the Potter makes a great caravan.
For most of it life, though, a Potter 19 will be a day boat, like typical trailable power cruisers, and it needs some sparkle in its performance to do the job. A generous sail area is a good start; Seagreen bring the Potter in with the biggest headsail option, and mount it on a furler. Combined main and genoa area is 181sq ft in old money – an exceptional power: weight ratio for this class of boat.
The rigging supporting the sail area is simple: forestay, backstay and single shrouds. Getting the mast up from its neatly designed supports is just about as simple. The builders supply a set of gear along the same lines as the A-frame for raising and lowering masts of cruisers at the Fremantle bridges, but with two halfway fit adults available it is easier to do it handraulically. There is no great muscle power needed, and I timed the job at less than ten minutes.
The Suzuki motored us clear of the ramp with urge to spare, but I suspect the suggested minimum 2hp would be gasping into any strength of wind or current. We then had the use of a 10-15 knot breeze and exposed the full sail area to it.
The results were very good: we could sustain five knots and reached a peak of 6.2 in the gusts. We were up to hull speed but that big headsail became fairly hard work. The sheeting arrangements would have suited the smaller sail options and the generally lighter US east coast winds, but more purchase was needed here. Nice gear like sheet tracks and low friction blocks was laid on, but only a single whip purchase and no winch. No one would want to complicate things with a winch, but Seagreen’s Steve Green intends converting all the Potters’ headsail sheets to a 2: 1 purchase.
The cockpit works well. Four could comfortably sit in it, and there is nothing interfering with movement. There are no cavernous storage bins (and who needs them), but there is a useful transom locker. There are also fore and aft grab rails, and access to a boarding ladder.
The headsail furler proved its worth even more than on a bigger cruiser. Getting to the foredeck was OK but needed full use of all the handholds, and going via the fore hatch instead to bring the sail down would have been fiddly. Much easier to slack the sheet and haul the furler line. Where you need the fore hatch is for anchoring. Unlike many US trailer boats the Potter has a good capacity cable locker, also reachable through a hatch within the cabin, and the anchor is provided with a clip on the pulpit – a simple and effective piece of stowage.
The single most impressive pieces of hardware on board are the opening ports. Massively strong, spring loaded and equipped with powerful dogs and flywire, it would not look out of place on a destroyer – except for the shiny finish. But everything else on board seemed to have a healthy safety margin too, especially the chain plates, which past trailer sailers specialised in under-engineering
I looked around for maintenance items, but apart from the varnished tiller nothing needed periodic re-coating. Some oil here and there, emptying of the toilet and some hosing and sponging seem to about cover the rest of it. I am completely sold on the Potter 19, and I despair for the taste of our boating population if it does not sell in numbers. It was one of the few review boats I had to be politely ejected from. I did not want to go home.

West Wight Potter 19 Sailboat Review
An Easy Sailing Boat
© Judy Blumhorst
The West Wight Potter 19, like its smaller sister the 15, has been a popular pocket cruiser sailboat for over three decades. Inspired by an original design in the U.K., it is now built by International Marine in California. A number of improvements have been made over the years, while the boats still retain the original look and have attracted a large, dedicated group of followers. They are still shown at select major boat shows in the U.S.
The Potter 19 is popular not only because it's a tough little boat that is easy to sail but also because it's a lot of boat for its length. Its hard-chine hull offers good stability and has a high freeboard to help keep the cockpit dry, and it's a very easy and forgiving boat to sail. The cabin is big enough for a couple to "camp" in comfort for short cruises. The Potter 19 has even been sailed across the Atlantic and from California to Hawaii!

Sailing a Potter 19
Because it is a small, lightweight boat, the Potter 19 is easy to trailer without a special vehicle. The deck-stepped, hinged mast can be raised by one person with the mast-raising system, or two without, making it a simple matter of less than an hour's work to do everything before launching. Since the boat draws only 6 inches with the keel raised and the rudder hinged up, it launches easily at almost all boat ramps.
Many owners have led the lines to the cockpit to enable sailing without having ever to go up on deck, assuming you have the CDI furler as most owners do. Even to raise the mainsail without the halyard routed aft, a tall sailor can stand inside the cabin on the side berths just behind the mast and easily pull up the main and cleat off the halyard. Sail slugs attached to the boltrope are advised and make this a one-handed operation that takes only seconds.
The hard chines of the hull mean that the boat is slower to heel much beyond 10 to 15 degrees than boats with a rounded or V hull, and the chines also tend to throw bow spray out to the sides instead of back toward the cockpit. The trade-off, the one disadvantage when sailing, is that the boat pounds its nearly flat hull when sailing into waves or the wakes of other boats.
On any small sailboat, it is important to position crew and passenger weight to advantage (i.e., most weight on the windward side to minimize heel), but this is not a problem with a cockpit large enough for four adults to be comfortable. The relatively heavy drop keel, unlike the lighter centerboards of many trailerable sailboats, provides good, deep ballast for increased stability. Under full sail with a genoa, the boat may begin to heel excessively with the wind over about 12 knots, but the main is easily reefed and the jib partly furled to reduce heel. The P-19 moves well in as little as 5 knots of wind and quickly reaches its hull speed around 5.5 knots in a 10-knot breeze.
Most owners power with a 4 to 6 HP outboard. The long-throw adjustable motor mount allows using either a short- or long-shaft outboard. Unless there are significant waves or a strong headwind, the boat powers easily at 5 knots with the engine well under half power.
The Potter owners association includes many stories written by different Potter sailors about their experiences. There are very few reports of capsizing or serious problems, always due to a mistake by the sailor, such as forgetting to lower the keel or cleating the sails in tight and then turning broadside to the wind. When sailed correctly, the Potter is probably safer than most sailboats of its size. A brand-new sailor, as with any sailboat, is advised to have some form of sailing instruction before venturing out the first time, but the Potter 19 is a good boat on which to learn the basics.
The Interior of a Potter 19
The Potter 19 makes good use of its interior space. Although cruising on any small sailboat tends more toward camping than the luxury of walk-around space as on a larger cruising boat, the Potter 19 is more comfortable than others its size. Its four berths are all almost 6 and a half feet long, and there is good storage underneath. Still, it would be a rare foursome that would cruise more than a night or so. But there is plenty of room for two to sleep and use the other berths for gear duffels and provisions.
The single-burner butane stove works well for one-pot meals, and the sink is handy for limited use. (There is not a through-hull drain, however: you carry off or dump your "gray water" from its reservoir bag.) Many owners have been quite creative in arranging storage bins and otherwise making use of the available space. A cooler can be slid under and behind the companionway steps, for example, if your boat lacks the built-in cooler.
Bottom Line
Of the wide variety of small trailerable sailboats on the market, the Potter 19 better meets the needs of owners who want to do some cruising than almost others, which at this length are typically designed more for daysailing than overnighting.
Because Potters have been around so long, it is not difficult to find one used in many areas. But because they are also very popular within their niche, they also sell at somewhat higher prices than other trailerables even up to 22 feet or more. If you can afford it, it's worthwhile to stretch for Potter if you like its looks and want its space - you won't be disappointed.
If you’re thinking about a trailerable sailboat like the Potter 19, remember that one of the great advantages is the ability to easily take it to other sailing destinations, such as heading to the Florida Keys in the winter.

Changes to a West Wight Potter 19?
Discussion in ' Sailboats ' started by Blam , Feb 19, 2020 .
Blam New Member
Hi all, I'm interested in hearing what you think about the possibility of making some changes to a WWP19. The changes I'm thinking of include lightening up the centerboard, adding a tabernacle to make it easier to drop the mast on the water and looking into the possibility of losing all but the front stay to simplify setup and speed up getting onto the water when daysailing. I realize the boat was designed for and sails well with the steel centerboard as is but I wonder if a hybrid centerboard made of mahogany/steel or aluminum/steel would still keep some weight down low and perform almost as well while allowing me to get rid of the winch and singlehand a little easier. Eventually I'd like to winter in the Keys so quick and easy operation would be a plus. Adding weight with a tabernacle and losing righting force with a lighter centerboard might mean looking into a carbon mast or downsizing the rig. If anyone has any suggestions on other production boats that might be a good match for a swap I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions and reasoning. Let me know what you think, if it's not really feasible I'd like to hear that too. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum Blam. It sounds like you already have a WWP 19? I had to go to the trusty Sailboat Data website to find out a bit more about her. SailboatData.com - WEST WIGHT POTTER 19 Sailboat https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/west-wight-potter-19 It mentions that the ballast is 370 lbs - is all of this in the steel centreboard, or does she also have some internal ballast as well? If all the ballast is in the centreboard, then she will become rather tender if you start removing weight from it. The drawing in the link is not very clear - is it a daggerboard, or a pivoting centreboard? You mention wanting to fit a tabernacle - yet you also want to do away with the standing rigging apart from the forestay, and that will be rather difficult (if not impossible) to do with a tabernacle. Free standing masts are usually keel stepped, and are designed to be cantilevers. What sort of budget is available for this project? I am thinking that even it is just you spending the winters on board in the Keys, a 19' boat is still going to become very small fairly quickly if you are living on board.

Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
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
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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.
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 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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

 We’ve raised 90% of our Fall Member Drive goal! No gift is too small or big. Will you help us get to $75K?This commentary is by Titan Potter of Groton. He is a farmer and former environmental justice coordinator at the Vermont Agency of National Resources, who spent six years as a policy analyst with the Council of State Governments Justice Center.  In 2021, The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics released data showing that, over a 6-month period, 20% of incarcerated people “reported experiencing some form of physical violence, measured in terms of being hit, slapped, kicked, bit, choked, beat up, or hit with or threatened with a weapon.” The BJS study included 22,898 incarcerated people (all genders) from 14 different facilities, demonstrating the widespread nature of the violence that occurs in prisons. The report also revealed that violence is a result of the prison context, finding that “male inmates had significantly higher rates of physical violence perpetrated by staff than by other inmates”. Many formerly incarcerated people have spoken about their need to become violent to survive prison , as have people who work in prisons (who research shows also experience trauma and other psychological harm from working in a prison). Simply witnessing violence causes trauma . In short, nobody inside goes unscathed . And yet, there are some in Vermont who seem convinced that a new prison with more windows, open supervision layouts (to reduce staffing needs), and warm color schemes and nature posters — estimated to cost $70 million , $80 million , or $90 million depending on who you ask — will result in prisons becoming “trauma-informed” and “therapeutic”. For anyone familiar with what jails and prisons currently look like in America — the same jails and prisons that produce the violence described above — take a scroll through the so-called “jails of the future” being sold to communities across the U.S. Do they look much different to you? And remember, that $70-90 million price tag does not include the cost of incarceration per person per year in Vermont, which can be upwards of $50,000. Nor does it account for the cost of running the therapeutic programs that will supposedly be offered in these new prisons. But most importantly, the idea of a “trauma-informed prison” ignores the fact that losing one’s freedom and being forcibly separated from community is an inherently traumatizing experience . As such, there is no possible way to design a trauma-informed prison. A report commissioned for the U.S. Health & Human Services Department’s “From Prison to Home” project in 2001 clearly articulated how prisons, by their very nature, cause psychological harm and maladaptive coping mechanisms that negatively impact people and their likelihood of successful reentry. Data from a 2017 study published in the academic journal Pediatrics show “cumulative incarceration duration during adolescence and early adulthood is independently associated with worse physical and mental health later in adulthood.” Providing an incarcerated person with an hour of therapy a week will do nothing if they are subjected to typical prison conditions (“ an often harsh and rigid institutional routine , deprived of privacy and liberty, and subjected to a diminished, stigmatized status and extremely sparse material conditions”) the other 167 hours of the week. BJS data show that incarcerated people experience serious psychological distress at far higher rates than the general public. Solitary confinement — often used as a form of “protecting” vulnerable prisoners — is linked to especially high rates of PTSD . Forced institutionalization will never be effective at addressing public health issues that arise from homelessness, malnourishment, lack of access to health care, substance use dependence and disorders, and physical and mental health issues resulting from these stressors. Far too often, incarceration becomes a death sentence . To anyone concerned about the economic “crimes” associated with people surviving these challenges, please consider the real economic crime being contemplated: the state of Vermont spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build and operate new prisons that will just keep making things worse. It is crucial to remember that many people who end up in jail or prison were victims and/or witnesses to violence early in their lives . Criminalizing survivors of trauma is never the answer. If we have upward of $70 million to spend, let’s invest in solutions that actually disrupt and heal cycles of harm in our community.

En route, the Potter makes a great caravan. For most of it life, though, a Potter 19 will be a day boat, like typical trailable power cruisers, and it needs some sparkle in its performance to do the job. A generous sail area is a good start; Seagreen bring the Potter in with the biggest headsail option, and mount it on a furler.
