EP 34: Westsail 32 Boat Tour [1975]

[@tvideo1189]

They are called WestSnails for a reason.

[@Foxholeatheist]

I knew a guy who circumnavigated on a Westsail from ~1998-2001. Hell of a boat.

[@BoatSnoop]

They are a good blue water boat for sure

[@affalada6868]

Thank you Snoopy to let us join you in this nice show from you the Westsail 1975 I like the hull but I think there is still a lot of work to do when you splash a boat like this Happy Holidays and thanks again

Narrator said "...one time I tried to convince The Admiral, my wife...." Lol!!! You could sell a lot of "the admiral, my wife" shirts!

[@BoatSnoop]

I told the Admiral, my red headed, Irish, Southern, Texan, rodeo barrel racing, sailboat sailor with a sailor mouth wife what you said and she laughed prettier hard 😂

Is this the Sundowner from the KZbin channel 4 years back? They did a major refit on all systems. He installed a giant access port in the cockpit, which I saw…they were from NOLA. Wow, wish I was in a position to use it as intended.

[@BoatSnoop]

Yes, I believe so...it is this same exact boat: Prior owner video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJTXm4CXfs2phpY&ab_channel=SundownerSailsAgain

[@montanadan2524]

Yes, the owners are friends and we visited them in the San Blas and stayed on this boat.

[@BoatSnoop]

Very cool! I don’t know the whole story of why they sold the boat. What I do know is that they sold it and it ended up with another guy and then I sold it for him to another guy.

[@dennis6325]

Just a newb here, but what are all the divots in the hull, that you can see printing thru the bottom paint? Are those previous fiberglass blisters?

[@BoatSnoop]

Honestly I have no idea…I just filmed the boat…it’s an older boat. Surveyor didn’t seem to think it was a big issue.

[@karlmoderna]

First thing would be to assess how many layers of old anti fouling are resting on the hull. Maybe it’s 15 years they don’t remove it. Would be punctured osmosis blisters, any sensible person would have put some filler on them as a second step, I think

[@philgray1023]

Not a big issue on this boat. Very thick hull. Next time the antifoul gets scraped off about $25 worth of epoxy will sort them out. Then an epoxy undercoat before antifouling.

[@affalada6868]

Did she sell? She was list 7 years ago for 39000

[@BoatSnoop]

Yes, she sold a couple of years ago

[@jstringer213]

Bullet proof! No keel bolts! Yay!

[@BoatSnoop]

They are pretty solid boats for sure.

[@sailingturkuaz3586]

How much does it cost?

[@BoatSnoop]

I'm sorry to say this boat sold last December...

[@sailingturkuaz3586]

Ok.thanks.could you tell me how much does it sell?

[@BoatSnoop]

@@sailingturkuaz3586 , I think it was around $30k

[@sailingturkuaz3586]

Ok thanks 🙋

[@burtduckett9605]

There are no stairs ot floors on boats. Boats have ladders and decks

[@davetunbridge6637]

A westsail 32, Tar Baby 2 suffered a catastrophic mast failure in big seas and they had to abandon her after cutting away the mast and most of the rigging. They were rescued and before leaving the yacht they closed all sea cocks and locked her up. Not sure of the fate of the boat but the couple on board survived.

[@Mme.Swisstella]

@@davetunbridge6637 they knowingly left the boat as a navigation hazard to others. Kindly look at the manner in which that deck-stepped mast attaches to the c9ach roof.

[@MrLawman82]

Still available, where is it, how much?

[@BoatSnoop]

She was sold December 2021.

[@MrLawman82]

@@BoatSnoop Dang! Thanks.
