Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

But It's so much fun! And besides, I tend to hibernate in the winter :whistling:



Thanks! I knew it came with the boat but I didn't actually see it until after I got home. It's nice to be...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

@Schrewsburydou

I'll try to post sailing pics and vids soon. I'll have to wait until I actually sail it though :whistling:

I did get some things done...and now I need more projects.

Crossed...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Great! That should be a big help. :biggrin:

There's a Family fun day being sponsored at my sailing club (Which I have officially joined, btw) on Saturday. I won't take my boat, but I'll go with...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

You are right about it being a transom style mount. The manual from hummingbird makes it seem like it can also be used if it's epoxied inside the hull correctly. I haven't had any luck finding...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Oh in the case of the forestay they could be really really useful! When we lowered the mast on Sunday, I pushed forward enough that the FO could take a pin out, but it was a pretty tough push. I can...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Thanks for the link, but I don't think I have any need for it. The shrouds are loose once I lower the mast anyway, and they are easy to detach without adjusting. I marked each of the four so I would...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

@SkiprJohn

Thanks a lot! :smile: The yarn on shrouds sounds like a great idea. A windvane would make my mast too long to store in my garage. It's a close fit as it is. I did decide to take the...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Well I am tickled to death to provide one!

Sea trial went smoothly, Me + 3 kids + Former Owner (Yes, I bought it!) sailed for about 2.5 hours. I learned a lot, and I feel much more comfortable....

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

No sea trial today, weather was uncooperative. Hopefully tomorrow.

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Weather permitting the CO will take me out Saturday afternoon. If all goes well with the sea trial, he'll walk me through taking down the mast and loading it on the trailer. With luck I'll have it...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

That was actually my thought towards the problem as well! The rudder isn't in bad shape but it does have a few nicks here and there. I'll likely sail with it this summer and then fill/sand/refinish...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

I'll probably table the new sails until next year or later, depending on the condition of the current set.

There is actually a bimini (which I saw, folded up in the corner) and a dodger (which I...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

I hoped a mast raising system wouldn't be to hard to make. They certainly seem simple enough. And thanks a lot for the offer of help with that. I'll keep you posted as things progress. It's also good...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Thanks! I actually checked both of those yesterday, after various web sources mentioned them.

A quick update, we are tentatively scheduled for a sea trial this weekend, weather permitting, and we...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

@SkiprJohn

There's no mast raising system in place yet, but I might try to get one through IM, or failing that, make my own.
It is the original kick up rudder, but I expect it to be sufficient...

Re: Help inspecting a WWP19

Thanks for all the replies!





The current owner has already made the detachable centerboard cable modification. I hadn't seen or read about that prior to yesterday but it looked like a great...

Help inspecting a WWP19

Hey all,

I'm almost ready to take the plunge and buy a boat. I went and looked at a year 2000 West Wight Potter 19 today, and I was fairly impressed. It was sitting on its trailer in the seller's...
