This is the sixth installment in our irregular series, based on results of a Small Craft Advisor reader survey done last year to see who’s sailing what—and just how much you like your small boats. (For earlier installments, see SCA issues 116, 117, 118, 120 and 122.)

This time we look at four different popular small-boat models ranging in length from 14.5 feet to 20 feet, including the West Wight Potter 19, the Francois Vivier-designed Ilur, the Hartley 16, and the Bolger-designed Chebacco. —Eds
