The West Wight Potter 15 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Stanley T. Smith and Herb Stewart as a cruiser and first built in 1979.
[4] The International Marine built West Wight Potter 15 is a recreational sailboat, made predominantly of fiberglass, with mahogany wood trim.
The hull has a spooned raked stem, a conventional transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a weighted, galvanized steel centerboard.
[7] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: Long-distance cruisers have taken modified versions from California to Hawaii, and from Seattle to Alaska, indicating relatively good stability and ease of handling, despite her tiny lightweight hull and narrow beam, With very shallow draft and a relatively flat V-bottom, she is beachable and easy to launch; her “unsinkable” hull has positive foam flotation.
A centerboard fills the central space in the cabin, so there's no footwell: you must sit cross-legged on the berthtop, and finding a convenient place to use a portable toilet is problematical.
