West Wight Potter 1989. If it was new, I would not be willing to cut out areas and drill holes to test improvement ideas.

P19 power panel- Installed panel with six independant fuses and on/off toggle switches. Panel is fed by battery through a keyed Battery switch, which also powers a battery meter. A six position terminal block connects to panel switches and corosponding accessories. A four position terminal block is used to hold the +12 feed from batt sw., and the other lugs are bonded for grounding.
P19 cook n safty area- I fabricated a fiberglass cowling to hold the fire extingusher. Cowling pops out to have access to terminal blocks behind it. Red case held with snap strap holds the medical supplies. The galley table has reflective metal tape to reflect heat away, and help open with strap snap to window bezel. Below red case is the Smoke & monoxide detector. Top-left is combination color monitor and TV, and the VHF radio hanges from the tilted cabin wall, by hatchway.
P19 scupper exterior- Took off the duct tape scupper I have been testing, and epoxied a pice of wood above the scupper drain so I could screw on a sheet of rubber (that won't float up).
3M line organizer- These have been very usefull. I bought a stronger double stick tape to use with these hangers, because the tape it comes with does not hold up to weather.
Port-berth extended- I cut off the top apendage of the cushion to square it off.
Port-berth- The cushion is so long, I later cut it shorter to increase the storage space under the port quarter.
reefed to 1st reef cringle.- Luque's linear reefing system. I am very pleased with this variable reefing tackel. using one line and the main halyad, I can control the sail area between the outhaul cringle to the second reef leech cringels.
reefed to 2nd reef cringle.- Luque's linear reefing system. I am very pleased with this variable reefing tackel. using one line and the main halyad, I can control the sail area between the outhaul cringle to the second reef leech cringels.
reefing fully open- Luque's linear reefing system. I am very pleased with this variable reefing tackel. using one line and the main halyad, I can control the sail area between the outhaul cringle to the second reef leech cringels.
reefed to 2nd cringle/ close up.- Luque's linear reefing system. I am very pleased with this variable reefing tackel. using one line and the main halyad, I can control the sail area between the outhaul cringle to the second reef leech cringels.
reef blocks port view. Sail full extention.- Luque's linear reefing system. I am very pleased with this variable reefing tackel. using one line and the main halyad, I can control the sail area between the outhaul cringle to the second reef leech cringels.
sail jacks port down- Double duty use tried with the two baby-stays. After raising the mast, attached the baby-stays to the boom, and added orange line to create a 3-point sail support on each side of the sail when dropping the main and not making a sloppy mess. When the sail is fully raised, the jacks are lose. When the main halyard is released, the SS baby-stay acts as a boom support, so the boom does not drop to the floor. The main problem I had that made me to stop using this arrangement was, too offten, the sail stays would snag on the jacks, causing me to re-drop the sail to un-snag it. You need someone or an auto-tiller, to hold the boat directly into the wind to help prevent the snag.

V-berth view- shows how far the extended port sleeping area is. This is now called the captain's bunk. I consider this a safty feature, because it is very easy to get up and check for night time bumps and anchor drag.
fender storage 4
fenders & pocket nets
fuel & anchor reveled- I might be able to if a reel of rode and chain here also.
Port storage added- Added 3 feet 8 inches of port sleeping area by removing the port sink. Storage under slats. This makes a total length of 9feet 8 inches.
port storage empty- added flotation foam sheets under the wood floor.
port strg frnt left- vertical block is very important to support stress on horizontal 2x2. Also removed the lose foam blocks under quarter berth and inserted the blue foam sheets.
port strg frnt right- The slats are blocking the view of the steel center board. White plastic box in photo center is a 9 volt water sensor alarm.
port strg rear left- Can't find photos of sink cutout. A thin white plastic sheet from HOME DEPOT was cut to hide the ugly hole. In the hole, I fiberglassed four vertical wood ribs to screw other blocks to. Half inch thick foam sheets were cut to fit between the ribs.
port strg rear middle- many slots were cut into wood to make it more flexible.
