    So glad you've taken to the Potter. It's such a fun and predictable boat.

    Nice to see you, this is Mitch from Small Sailboat Big Water. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos. That’s a great looking Potter.

    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!

    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.

    Watching from Brisbane, Australia. Unfortunately, we only get 12 good sailing months per year.

    Very good video. I’ve seen a few potters around. I know you have your hands full, but a few drone shots would be great. Where were you sailing?

      This was just west of Toronto on Lake Ontario. I'm considering a drone for the coming season so stay tuned! Right now we're planning for the Manitoulin 250 coming up in July - can't wait!!

      @@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

    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

      @PotterOnTheWater  Місяць тому

      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 .

      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!
