Dear Steve Oliveira:
My information concerning the "West Wight Potter C Type" is from Sailing
Boats of the World edited by Rhonda Budd, published 1974 by Prentice-Hall,
Inc. They do not mention a "C-14 west wight potter". The book list the West
Wight Potter (P-15) as another boat with different builders and
specifications.

They show a line outline of the boat with the sail number #151 which suggest
the initial boat would be numbered 151. The rest of the info is as follows:

Design: Stanley Smith, U.S.A./Supplier: Ring Marine, The Golden Hill Fort,
Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England
Construction: GRP
LWL: 11'9
LOA: 14'6
Beam: 5'3
Draft: 2'8
Displ: 540 lbs
Fittings: Mahogany trim, drop keel, self-bailing
Interior: 2 berths
Variations: Optional outboard, 7HP maximum
Salis: Area 110 sq. ft., Spinnaker area 65 sq ft.
Rigging Sloop
Price Guide: L 450
Summary: Designed specifically for the North Sea. Very competent for offshore
cruising. Self-bailing - non-sinkable.

Hope this helps you.
