I'd love to see photos of this Potter 19 but you can get a general idea of the boat from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Wight_Potter_19

Right. The title conjures dreamy images in my mind that I was dying to see images!

Solo sailors became a semiprominent microniche on youtube during the pandemic, you can watch this sort of thing in incredible detail that way if you want. Sam Holmes did this trip (and many others) and has IMO the best channel about this kind of sailing. He has nerves of steel and is not necessarily to be emulated in all practices but a great watch. FWIW I'm a long-time recreational sailor but I've only done a few long passages and none of them solo.
