Designed by legendary yacht designer William Crealock , this Westsail 43 cutter rigged yawl has circumnavigated in 2012-2016 as well as rounding Cape Horn and sailing the length of the Americas. She was prepped in winter for another extensive voyage.
An extremely seaworthy and sea kindly boat, we have weathered a force 10 storm at sea and surfed down 9 meter waves without incidence. Her canoe stern and long keel makes her very reliable when running in large seas. As a cutter rigged yawl, it’s easy to manage the sail area with a crew of 2.
Built in 1976 in California, the GRP layup is up to 2 inches thick making her perhaps
one of the solidest built fibreglass boats in existence. This is in our opinion,
one of the safest yachts in which to cross oceans. She has been a fine home to
the present owners since 2012 and awaits her next adventure.
Beyond safety,the boat must be aesthetically pleasing to the owner and not too slow – nobody
likes a slow boat.
This is a cruising boat with extensive spares and full galley. She has ample storage space with 2 hanging lockers, and a selection of dry stores
