What a great versatile day sailer / coastal cruiser sailboat! When I purchased this boat, I was looking for some specific things. (1) I wanted a boat that my wife would enjoy that did not heel much. Due to the shape of the hull and the hard chine, Potters tend to sail flatter (5 degrees less than other monohulls) meaning that wives will feel more comfortable and be more willing to go sailing. (2) I wanted a simpler boat and smaller sailboat, that translates into less expenses to maintain. (3) I wanted something that I could tow from lake to lake, increasing my sailing area and experiences. (4) I wanted a boat that was super easy to splash and recover off of its trailer, one that I could do by myself if need be. (5) I wanted a 'classic' that would maintain its re-sale value. I found that the Potter fit the bill completely. The boat has been sailed in primarily fresh water lakes, although a previous owner had sailed it sparingly in saltwater, but always kept it on its trailer after each sale rather than leaving it in a slip. The boat has a brand new roller furler, used about 3-4 times. The sails are nearly new, purchased by the previous owner and still very crisp to the touch. The head said has the blue sacrificial cloth to keep it protected from the sun, and the mainsail and winches have their own covers. The boat has tiller steering and a newer fiberglass rudder, with the original wooden rudder as a back up. The boat has the 'blue water layup' which means that it has a thicker hull for coastal cruising. However, the original mast raising system was removed from the boat as the po never used it, preferring to have a second person help raise the mast. I built my own system, using treated 2x4's as a gin pole which works very nicely. One person can easily raise and lower the mast, and can even do so on the water, granting access under lower bridges. The cockpit is a nice size that can easily accommodate 4 adults. The outboard is a 2013 Nissan, 6 hp, long shaft 4 stroke (burns normal gas with no oil to mix) and only has about 20 hours on it. Inside the cabin, you'll find an adequate size v-berth and 2 quarter berths that can sleep 4 adults. It has a new stove, newer battery, boat hook, life vests, anchor and rode, smoked plexiglass companionway cover in addition to the original wooden one, and a porta-potti. The trailer is a Gargas trailer and has been upgraded with all new wiring, LED tail lights, new safety chains and rollers and new wheel bearings. My intent was to tow it 1,000 miles from Indiana to Florida, and so I ensured that it was ready for any length trip. It also has a mag compass and a Hummingbird fish finder (depth gauge). While shopping specifically for a WWP 19, I drove more than 800 miles one way to look at a boat that was a 2005, priced at $11,500 . and it was pathetic in relation to this boat! Though it is a 1996, it has been well cared for and can last its next owner a lifetime. The centerboard cranks up very easily and allows a draft as shallow as 18 inches, which means that it can be beached, or it can be extended to 3.5 feet which allows it to sail upwind satisfactorily. When I first purchased the boat, the po didn't have the bimini secured properly, and the wind sheer from the drive ripped the cloth. The frame is in perfect shape, but the canvass needs to be sewed or replaced. After spending a year searching for the right boat, which this boat was, I am now selling it because I have just recently had a major change in my sailing area. I had been sailing Lake Michigan and a local lake, but have acquire property in Florida with a mooring ball. I no longer need to trailer a boat to Fla. but can now just leave one on a mooring. I have replaced the Potter with an older Catalina 27 (1982). I have reduced the price to allow for a new canvass for the bimini. Happy hunting for your next sailboat, and hopefully, it will be my WWP 19.
This is a sturdy vessel. Orginally designed to sail the English Channel, and now produced in California you don't find these making their way to the east coast often. Boat includes trailer and is able to put in the water and sailing in less than an hour. The boat shell is a 98,. but still in great shape. Most of the items on the boat have been upgraded recently. Motor is 2 years old and has less than 50 hours on it, still in mint condition. The entire electrical system was redone last year. All lights inside and out work and were replaced at the time. Battery charger was also put in and is new. Also recently added a AUTO PILOT! Its awesome, you can just set the autopilot with the garmin GPS (also included) and lay back and sail or motor. We loved taking the boat out for a day, and even taking it to the keys and sleeping on it. Sleeps 2 comfortably, and 4 for a night or two. Hate selling it, but we bought a small business and we can't take it out like we used to. It's currently in dry storage, where it lives whenever its not sailing. No salt water damage. Great thing about this boat is its small enough to trailer, (has a retraceable keel that makes beaching possible) big enough to sleep on, easy enough for a beginner, yet strong enough for any sea's. Full foam hull so the boat is unsinkable. After purchase, if needed, I'm willing to take the new owner out to show him/her how the boat works.
The Potter Wight Sailboats were introduced in 1971. Their well-planned interiors, ease of one man sailing, and safety have made the Potter Wight an industry favorite. No other cruiser in this size offers the stability and handling ease of the P19.

There is a small superficial scratch on the starboard bow and is indicated in the photos. here
Note: If you haven�t raised the mast before and don�t know if the shrouds are the correct length, then loosen the turnbuckles on the four shrouds to make sure the mast will go all the way up. more
Note: If you have not tuned the rig, then do NOT install the forward pin in the mast step. If you have already tuned the rig, then you can install the forward pin in mast base BEFORE you connect the forestay. The second pin is never necessary. There is some discussion about whether it is better to install the second pin or not. more
Note: Some people prefer to have the adjustable end of the boom vang at the boom instead of at the mast. Do whichever you prefer. [links]
