Hello all I have been lurking here for a while looking for a small boat. We just got an early potter. It is a Mark 1 if I am reading the descriptions right. Is there a HIN on the very early Potters? The Potter was sitting on a work dock at a ship yard open and rotting for the at least 10 years. We recieved basically a hull and a new mainsail. The previous owner was given the boat by a gentleman who had a stroke just about the time he pulled the boat and began restoring it. All the rigging and fittings were thrown away when a locker was cleaned out at the shipyard. The mast was accidently cut in half when the sheds were remodeled. Somehow the main sail survived. I cannot find a HIN any where obvious on the hull. Since the main sail is new there is no hull number on it. The title shows that it is a 1965 year model, the HIN is 13 figures long, CFZ7489C0065R, and the manufacturer is UKWN. We are going to begin stripping the wood out this weekend to see how much needs to be replaced. If anyone has any suggestions for the restoration or where to scrounge for bits and pieces please let me know. Thanks all Greg
