Potter 19 vs Marshall Sanderling
Vote for the one you'd prefer to own
Here are a couple of popular trailersailers—both are just under 19 feet in length, but that’s where their similarities would seem to end. The famous Potter offers impressive accommodations for a boat about half the weight of the Sanderling, but the timeless Sanderling favors a luxurious cockpit and legendary quality.

I would love to have one of each, but my heart says it's the Marshall. Quality of construction, traditional style, seakeeping ability, larger cockpit, but I would miss the accommodations offered by the Potter.
I prefer the 19 because it is easier to launch and get out in the water sailing. Not much wook for spending time with maintenance. There is a large following of WWP19 owners planning cruises and group gatherings. I like how light weight it is and how quick the helm responds to its lite air design.
