Approximate drawing

The West Wight Potter 15 stands as one of the most recognizable icons of the "pocket cruiser" movement, a testament to the design philosophy that a vessel does not need massive proportions to provide genuine adventure. Originally designed by Stanley Smith in the late 1950s following a legendary crossing from the Isle of Wight to Sweden in a 14foot wooden prototype, the design was eventually transitioned to fiberglass and lengthened slightly to become the Potter 15. Manufactured for decades by International Marine, the boat is defined by its hardchined hull, high freeboard, and a galvanized steel luffing keel that provides surprising stability for a boat with a displacement of only 475 pounds. Its "salty" aesthetic, characterized by a distinct gunter or fractional sloop rig and a proud, upright bow, has earned it a cult following among trailersailers who value ease of rigging and the ability to explore thinwater estuaries where larger keelboats cannot venture.
