I saw a Potter 19 at the Strictly Sail show in Chicago recently and am
interested in purchasing one. Does anyone know of a USED POTTER 19 for sale?

A couple of questions I had:

Has there been any problems with the Keel lift assembly breaking (either
the cable or rigging), and if so how hard is it to get the keel up if the
assembly breaks while the keel is down?

I read that the Potter 19 will not sink because of the positive floatation,
but if it should severly swamp can the crew self rescue (bailout and resume
sailing)? Is the keel housing below the waterline when flooded?

Thanks -tom felice
