My poor old Genny Sea would be embarrassed seeing these photos. No clutches, no downhauls, no fancy storage, and no dirt. I shall erase these photos quickly before my Potter 15 sees them and sets me before Neptune's Court as a poor owner. On the other hand, I'd rather sail than mess around fixing up stuff. Bacon's boat is to die for! Nice job, darn it.
Great Article!! I have had the “Honor” to sail with Dave & Admiral Herman on many occasions over these past 20+ years....MessAbouts, races, Yarns @ the dock....Gin & Tonics....always entertaining, always a learning experience!!!
I really enjoyed reading Dave’s updated book “The Gentle Art of Pottering”. Filled with great tips that he learned from many years of fine tuning his boat & skills.
We made a few of Dave's mods to hull 1074 that we owned from 2004 to 2018. Yes, they work - especially the main outhaul clew loop and the jib twings. Ther are days that I wish we had not sold her. Also, a good set of performance sails from a sail maker who knows the WWP 15 will make a big difference. Sail the boat well, and you will be surprised!
Wonderful looking Galley Cabinet! Hope there is a tie down to keep it from going anywhere - if I found it floating, I'm NOT giving it back! I'm not a Potter fan but like all I've seen here - congrats!
Thanks for reprinting, Josh...Articles about WWP15s never get old!
