Sailing a West Wight Potter 15 on Big Water. Fall Adventure
Today we get out for another sail in the West Wight Potter 15. She stands up really well in the wind and the waves on the big water. Great Fall Adventure!

Переглядів 547День тому
Taking my West Wight Potter 15 on a solo overnight trip at the end of the season. This cruise takes place in the middle of October in the southern Georgina Bay area - launching from Penetanguishene (Pentetang) Ontario. If you like this type of cruising, join us on Facebook at the Can-Am Dinghy Cruising Association! We do many cruises together throughout the year!
So glad you've taken to the Potter. It's such a fun and predictable boat.
@@S1lentJoy LOVE it!! Btw the guy from the OBX 130 said late August or early Sept...they haven't set a firm date yet :)
I used to sail my nordica and mirror very early and very late in season. Frequently only boat out there. Only coastguard or polive boat checking if i was "ok"? Maybe not crazy haha
Hey Arek! Ya there weren't too many people out there! The police boat actually did cruise by at one point! A couple of boats came out later in the afternoon - probably once people got off work they were able to get out for a little while .
Nice Kelly Good ole lake ontario. Sailed out of that park many times
It's such a great facility! Good ramps, washrooms, tons of parking and all free!!
@@PotterOnTheWater i know eh. Best thing for quick sails is that you can go right out and go. Either left or right. I often sailed the coast for fun poking around towards oakville or so.usually upwind and then fun coming back
It's tougher and tougher to not want a Potter 15 after watching videos like this. Nicely done
I would buy one again in a heartbeat. For me and the type of sailing I want to do it's the best so far!
Classic lake Ontario, gotta find a bright plaid lifejacket tho.
That would be the ultimate in saftey wear!
PS, I know those wave/swells are bigger than they look on camera!
Yep. It never quite shows on camera - it wasn't too crazy - largest swells were about 4 feet - enough to keep me "busy" tho for sure!
I'm jealous!!! I'm glad you got to get out Kelly while I'm splitting firewood!!! I'm not upset at all!!!!!! Lol! I like it when the wind starts light and builds! Gearing up.
It was a great day (for splitting wood too...almost as much fun 😂)
@@fourstringstrummer I'm heading out for the last batch now. We will be warm for the winter! But I've been looking at this last warm spell, day dreaming of the trip I could have taken! Glad you got out Kelly! AllthebestRoy
Looking for the beef 😅
...and I didn't have my glasses!!
Nice video, and it looks like a nice place for a sail.
@@svslowmotion6611 it is a really nice area. We were up there the week before with the Can-Am Dinghy Cruising Association for a weekend rally and had a blast. I have a bunch of photos from that too. I may do up a little "slide show" video from that as well.
Nice ride Kelly;wish be there.Thanks for great video.
Hey Stan! ya it was a fun trip - it had a bit of everything. Now I'm going to get to work on some additions/improvements over the cold months!
Thanks for the ride, Kelly! BestRoy
Glad you liked it Roy!!
Wish I could have been there.
You would've loved it Marty. We should do an east coast trip next year!
That would be great! I will make it for one cruise in Ont next season.
I missed Penetang 2024 due to a previous commitment so it was nice to batch your video. My WWP15 has everything cleaned for winter, motor and gear oil changed, sailed safely stowed so mice can’t get them. Let me know when you head out in the Spring and we can do a Potter formation….
Sounds great Hugh! Stephan (another WWP owner) and I are already planning Potter adventures! Follow along on the Can-Am Facebook group - we'll be posting updates! Kelly

Thanks Peter!
