Great video. What did it cost to replace the standing rigging ??? and who made up the new shrouds 'n stays, etc

At what lean angle do you pucker up a little? I'd be tempted to furl in the head sail and just go staysail. But you know your boat. Love the WS 32

I don’t know about anyone else but when the lee rail is constantly underwater the angle of heel becomes too uncomfortable to stand in the cockpit. Time to bear away and get the boat on more of an even keel. That’s just me 😆👍

Were many of the Westsail boats built by professional shipyards? I have never seen one around the great lakes or southeast coast of the US.

I always thought that one had to use a special paint on the bronze wheel?
@jeffreyerwin36654 ай бұрын
Only thing that I don't like is how that Rocna sits on the anchor roller. Perhaps a Spade or a Delta would fit better? Also, looks as if the rudder was designed to catch pot lines. On my Glander Cay 23 I was able to remove the " catchy" protrusion of the rudder, but that does not seem possible on the Westsail. Perhaps a bronze tang extending from the keel to under the rudder?

@liamstone34375 ай бұрын
Motor boat drivers ruin pretty much everything at every opportunity. When you have an entire ocean why park your bus right on top of a sailor? And the motor boat closest to you invariably starts their drunken orgy at the time sailors like to sleep in order to rest for the next favorable tide.

Very nice. My only gripe (which I have no right to make as it is not my boat) is how that Rocna sits on the bow roller. I like the Delta for its all-around reliability.

Hi guys. I'm a new subscriber having fallen in love with the Westsail 32. What a fantastic boat! I love your videos with their mix of unadulterated sailing sequences and your friendly presentations. Keep up the good work. I notice your dinghy fits nicely on the foredeck - what type and size is it? many thanks 🙂
