Dear Potters,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience using sails not =
specifically designed for the Potter. Are there any inherent problems =
other than the obvious i.e., don't get a sail with a bigger luff than =
the length or your forestay? I have a Potter 15 and was looking at a =
used jib that had a luff of 12.05, a foot of 6.05 and a leech of 11.09. =
Does anyone see a problem of using this on the Potter? It seems that it =
would fill the role mid way between the working jib and a 150% genoa. I =
appreciate any thoughts folks might have on this. Thanks in advance!
