I'm interested in opinions on Westsail 32's in general. The one I'm considering
is factory finished with the dinette layout. It has been constantly maintained
and upgraded since new, so condition is not a big worry. This is not a bargin
priced derelict. Of course I'll have a survey done if things progress that far.

This one was made without teak decks, which to me, is a major plus. Low hours on
the Yanmar. I'm more interested in hearing about how the boat sails and what it
is like to spend long periods aboard. I already like the looks and the size,
although I've also considered some larger boats. The boat would be used
initially for frequent daysails (often single handed) long weekends, and cruises
of a week or two at most. In a few years, we'd be on the boat for six or more
months at a time. Once we transition to the longer term situation, we might even
consider leaving it somewhere nice like the Med, and flying to the boat. I've
long admired these boats, but I've never spent more than an afternoon on one.
