Love your video's!! I'm about to become the newest (3rd) owner of a Potter 15....I'm looking forward to sailing the waters from Clearwater, FL -----> SOUTH... I'll be doing some initial sailing with my new acquisition in Tampa Bay....after that...out there along the Gulf shores. Will be joining the WCTSS, too....hope to meet you/family sometime....group sail/cruise.
1- The mic would need a wind protector. I need to see what is available.
2- The rig WAS very loose because it was my first time I tighted the backstay. That made my shrouds loos but I corrected that later.
The Sanibel is much more stable than my P15. The handling is something that I am still learning but I would say that it's faster, and can go against the chop better. It's not great at pointing but that might also be my lack of experience with her.

Nice video.
For sailing videos with wind I would recommend a wind protector for you mic.
Your rigging looks a little loose. When the power boat hits there is a lot of slack from a relatively small wake.
I have a potter 15 too. How does it compare to the Sanibel in regards to stability and handling?
