Every time I read this question I get ****ed with other people's
replys. IN every case several people chim in with WestSnail and other
cute comments about how SLOW the design is.

Okay, so how fast is a 32' boat suppose to go?????
But speed is of little importance when your talking about 6.5 k
compared to 8 K. whats that mean for a 2500 mile leg? Maybe 72 hours?
But if the weather kicks up will that "fast" boat be able to maintain 8
k or will it have to slow down to 6 K to keep from pounding into
chunks.

Ya wana go fast......? fly fool, then rent the car, then rent the boat.


But more imortantly........... the Westsail was designed and built to
do one thing very well: sail all oceans safely. Try that on a "fast"
Erickson 32 or a Ranger or Cascade or ....

If youre thinking of sailing to Europe or Hawaii buy the Westsail. Last
week that big Pacific High was stalled as usual. Conditions to
Hawaii....... steady 25 knot winds gusting to 31 Knots with 17' seas.
Abosolutly perfect sailing conditions ! ! ! For a Westsail or Freya or
Ingrid!
Its as simple as using the right tool for the intended job. I keep
hearing, "Mickey Mouse peice of ****... why wont anything hold together
nowdays?!?"
