Steve Oliveira has sent me some nice photos of his UK-built C-type WWP 15.
They can be viewed on the Potter Yachters web page at
<http://songbird.com/py/pics/Ctype.jpg>. Steve may have the only UK-built
Potter in the U.S. Note that the cabin has a step forward, and the wooden
mast (it's a gunter rig) is stepped on the lower level of the cabin. Steve
says his Potter is called a "Glass Slipper" and the sail emblem is a glass
slipper instead of the WW or WWP used on other UK and early U.S. Potters.
I've also added to the PY website a C-type Potter brochure
<http://songbird.com/py/oldbroch.htm> and an old article reviewing what is
apparently a D-type, also gunter rigged.
Perhaps Bruce Longstaff in Uxbridge can confirm or correct the
identifications and tell us more about the "Glass Slipper" Potter. I've not
seen the slipper insignia previously. Note that there were different
manufacturers for the C and D type Potters.
