Wow, That's a really good question, one that is going to depend on a bunch of
other questions:

1. Is it a P15 or P19?
2. Original sails is not necessarily a "good" thing (as sails stretch and loose
their effectiveness in time). But it's also not a bad thing--as you may have
only sailed it in light winds twice in the past 20 years! ;-)
3. What hardware is on it?
4. Outboard?
5. Importantly, what will the market bare? Is there a buyer near you. (Used
Potters, like every other boat, will bring more if they are in the right place
at the right time).

Take a cruise over to http://Potter-Yachters.org and look under used boats for
sail,... they also have a WTB option, you might find your buyer there. Look
also on the www.trailersailor.com classifieds, they also have WTB's and the
occasional Potter for sale.

You realize, of course, that your problems are lucky to have you?!

Braggart,... Just kidding, I'm jealous of course ;-)

I am curious. I have a West Wight Potter that is Hull #239 with a tilt
trailer. We sail the boat at Smith Mountain lake. The boatis in good shape
but it is 33 years old without major cosmetic work, but is still very sound and
is fun to sail. The trailer is freshly painted with a new bearing job. It has
original sails as well as original paint. I am thinking about selling her
because . Cheers! John
