Can anyone give me informed opinions on the West Wight Potter 19? I
: know the owners are fanatical supporters but I get the sense
: that others have equally strong negative opinions. My use will
: be day sailing on Lake Michigan and keeping it in a slip with
: the occasional trip up to northern Michigan and Wisconsin.
My last boat was a Hunter 280 which was fast, dry, stable and a total
delight. It also took a week to sail to Door County from Chicago (a
four hour trip for a Potter behind a car!) I know the small(er) boat
experience is going to be totally different but I really want to know
how you all feel about safety, durability and passengers who are not
used to sailing.
