Default buying a small saiboat!

"Mo Chung" wrote...

I want to buy a small sailboat that I can keep in my garage on a trailer.
I live about 15 miles from a lake with a boat ramp.
I live in the midwest with gusty windy days and I don't plan to race the
boat.
I enjoy learning new skills and I want to learning sailing.
I read 2 books about sailing but no actual boat time ;-(

I read about a West Wight Potter 19 on the web and considering 2000 and
newer models.
What would be the 3 best points and 3 worst points of the Potter 19?

Any other boats I should consider?


There are a lot of Potter fans around, and it's a nice day-sailer and
weekend camper for 1 or 2.

Consider boats that have local fleets/followings so you can get help from
the "experts" when needed. The type of boat is not as important as one
that you can be comfortable sailing. What other boats have you seen
around?
