Article Abstract:

Sailors mostly want large, fully-decked craft that can achieve marvels at substantial expense, but there are some who seek the quiet life offered by a small boat and modest ambitions. An account of a voyage by Stanley T. Smith, designer and builder of the West Wight Potter, demonstrates that any boat and its skipper can hold their heads high doing what pleases them at the time.
