Jerry,

Okay!

There is always much discussion about keel trunk leakage and I
had never realized it was only the new ones. Mine is a 1990
HMS. No gasket, not a leaker.

I have been calling it a WWP19 and added the (s) for short
mast. You seem to know more about Potters than the average
bear. When did the P18 become a P19? Rye Gewalt calls his a
P18. I was told mine was a P19 and it was titled that way when
new. Guess it doesn't matter, just curious. Is all this info
on a website somewhere?
