West Wight Potter Pocket Sailing Cruiser

‘pocket cruiser’. Ready to trail and sail. The ‘C’ Class West Wight Potter designed by Stanley Smith is built in strong GRP. It is terribly easy to launch as it floats in about ten inches of water. It can be moved on its trailer on hard standing very easily by one adult.

It has a bermudian rig. The mast is not heavy and quick to raise up and down. It is the ideal boat for those seeking solitude in the backwaters. Length a handy 14 foot 6 inches, and beam 5 foot 4 inches, so it does not block up a driveway. The yacht’s compact size means cheaper boatyard or mooring expenses.

The boat dates we believe from the late 1970s and is an excellent example of the ‘C’ Class. I am sad to be selling this craft but no longer have the spare drive space to store her. Whisper has a single steel centreplate - easy to raise and lower with a simple pulley tackle. Cosy cabin that sleeps two adults in reasonable comfort. Cabin ventilators.
