Thanks to all Potterers out there! (It's nice to know there is a fine
crowd of sailors out there to ask questions of. The activity on this
list and the voluminous information on the web really made the decision
for me to buy the West Wight Potter.) I've got a replacement drain tube
on order from IM that sounds like it will work fine and it seems that my
fears that it will be a real pain were unfounded. It'll just be a
little pain. (It always hurts make a hole in the hull;-)

I'm also curious about another issue on the P15. How do you hold
tension on the luff of the mainsail? I'm asking because the cleat that
was on my mast that I tied the gooseneck to broke last week and I went
in search of a replacement. In removing it, it seemed that it was not
an origional cleat, or location from the looks of the holes and screws.
I was just wondering if all of the mid to late '70s P15s had the cleat
mounted in the slot on the mast.

Thanks again, and fair winds to all this weekend! I hoping for some!
