>I'm a soon-to-be proud owner of a new Potter 19. I've sailed a 16' Hobie
on
>Lk. Michigan here in Chicago for 17 years, and with the kids now older
>(11,10, & 9) have stepped up to a nice mono-hull. My question to the group
is
>"Are there any idiosyncracies of a Potter 19 that would be helpful to know
>before going out on the Lake?" I am instinctively familiar with the
Hobie's
>strengths and weakness, but am a little nervous about the new one.
>Particularly, I've read where the Potters do not point well (which the
Hobie
>does very well). I'm also curious as to the stability of the 19. I've
read
>where she heels over right away, then stays put. I've joined the local
yacht
>club (Columbia) in the hopes of accessing some experience, but they've
never
>heard of a Potter. Thanks for your help and your Digest. Judy's website
has
>also been very helpful. Thank you.
