    Congratulations! You purchased the best known and best built pocket cruising vessels available. We invite you to spend a few moments with the following pages to become better acquainted with your new West Wight Potter. If at any point we can assist you, please call 800 433 4080 Fair Winds International Marine Standing Rigging The mast is a 2” aluminum extrusion with a slot on the aft side to which the sail’s boltrope or mainsail slides (options item) enter when hoisting the main sail. Attached to the mast will be two side stays, called Shrouds, and a Forestay. These three stainless cables represent the standing rigging of the West Wight Potter 15. The attachment points for the shroud adjusters are on the side of the deck. Looking at the boat you will find ¼” U-Bolts mounted through the deck on either side of the boat and the adjuster goes over these U-Bolts. Once the shroud adjuster slides in, the clevis pin inserts through the adjuster and is held in place with a lock ring. When both side stays are in place we move onto the mast raising. Mast Raising First, remove the mast pin holding the mast base in the bow pulpit. Second, move the mast back towards the mast step on the cabin top of the boat and pin the mast base into the aft section of the mast step (the mast step is bolted onto the cabin top of the boat). The mast crutch on the transom of the boat will support the aft end of the mast.

So, after what seemed to be a very short winter, I think we were all looking forward to the Potter Yachters’ season opening sail at Redwood City on March 21, 2015, and the traditional St. Patrick’s Day Weekend dinner hosted by the Peninsula Yacht Club. Many sailors traveled from far and wide just to make the sail, and stayed overnight on Friday berthed in Docktown, courtesy of the Peninsula Yacht Club. Needless to say, when staying in that location one must be cognizant of the tides. Ship’s Stores for sale. Send orders to Pat Brennan: (Season Opening Sail continued on page 5) Show your colors!

    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET HIGH, LOW, AND AVERAGE PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages list low, high and average performance handicaps reported by USPHRF Fleets for over 4100 boat classes/types. Using Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, information can be displayed for each boat class upon request. Class names conform to USPHRF designations. The source information for this listing also provides data for the annual PHRF HANDICAP listings (The Red, White, & Blue Book) published by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION. This publication also lists handicaps by Class/Type, Fleet, Confidence Codes, and other useful information. Precautions: Handicap data represents base handicaps. Some reported handicaps represent determinations based upon statute rather than nautical miles. Some of the reported handicaps are based upon only one handicapped boat. The listing covers reports from affiliated fleets to USPHRF for the period March 1995 to June 2008. This listing is updated several times each year.

  • The 2015 Texas 200 By: Matt Schiemer
    The 2015 Texas 200 By: Matt Schiemer Me leaving Paul’s Mott at sunrise on Day 4 of the 2015 TX200. Photo By Walter Brown. 1 Introduction In early June 2015, I successfully completed my 3rd Texas 200, having completed the first two in 2013 and 2014. After my first Texas 200 in 2013, I wrote a very extensive account of my experience. The reason that I wrote such a long and detailed account is simple: during the months leading up to my first Texas 200, I read every account and forum post from the prior years, and I found the information extremely helpful. It was due to this helpful information that I had such a good first year. When I was finished, I wanted to provide my own account so that potential first timers could have additional information from which to draw upon as they prepared for their own adventure. And I decided to spare no details. Maybe my account was too long and too dry. Maybe it was helpful. Either way, it’s out there on the Texas 200 website under the Accounts section from 2013, if you’re so inclined. In 2014, after completing the Florida 120 in May and the TX200 in June, I thought about writing an account that compared and contrasted the two events. For some reason, I just never found the right time and just never got around to it.
