The West Wight Potter — History, Design, and What Makes It Work (with Larry Rumbol)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The West Wight Potter 15 has a bit of a cult following—and for good reason.
In this episode of the NanoCruising podcast, I sit down with Larry Rumbol, the UK builder of the Potter 15, to dig into the story behind the boat. From its original designer, Stanley Smith, to the real-world experiences that shaped how the boat evolved over time.
Larry shares historical insights, lesser-known stories, and—just as importantly—practical advice on what works, what doesn’t, and what you can do to improve the boat for cruising.
If you’ve ever owned a Potter, considered one, or just enjoy small boats with real character, this is a fascinating look at a design that has stood the test of time.
