A Westsail for Wednesday ~

One of my favorite boats of all time. Maybe I'm too romantic. Maybe they are just great boats. As a child my family owned Westsail 32's from time to time... cruising them along the East Coast of the United Stats and down island as well.  I have had the chance to sail onboard, rig, live board, repair and enjoy about a dozen of these excellent craft.  Quite frankly for the cruiser or cruising couple that has a budget of  $30,000 to $50,000 you are very hard pressed to find any boat better buy for world  voyaging on a budget, in safety and comfort and style.   The Westsail 32 has received its fair share of bad press all of which is related to the speed under sail.  Indeed if you are looking for a FAST boat, this is not her. But do not be fooled by nay-say-ers. This is not a slow boat. Not for people who know how to sail.   As I have mentioned before I have had the pleasure to sail on nearly every type of boat every designed and built. The Westsail 32 remains one of my very favorite boats from a pure joy of sailing point of view. She is simple, predictable, and rewarding to sail.  If you know how to handle a boat, then you will really love sailing a Westsail- surprising fast on most points of sail, perfectly capable of good windward performance if pushed hard, and a design resting at the pinnacle of offshore safety hold this as one of the best boats every built, period.    Don't believe me- ask Frenc Mate! http://www.worldcat.org/title/best-boats-to-build-or-buy/oclc/15959891 .  Here is a picture of mine, which I sold earlier this year. 

The particular boat I want to draw your attention to today is a Westsail 32 located in Jamestown, RI  asking $59,000 and built as hull number 433. She has a beautifully outfitted custom interior as well as a custom deck layout- all very clearly thought out and she is in excellent condition.   Fitted with all the basics you could take this boat cruising right now... or you could add a windvane, roller furling and some electronics to travel in the lap of luxary if that suits you. There are currently around 20 W32's for sale worldwide or you can see the advertisement for this Westsail 32 I mention today by visiting this link:  http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1975/Westsail-32-Cutter-2643539/Jamestown/RI/United-States#.Up9kesRDsrU
