Ahoy Westsail 32 Fans! Here is the most unusual situation and amazing deal you will ever see for this classic! In 1977, the bare hull was purchasedWSSK071305 77and her owner has been building her ever since. Now, we are seeking the right person to bring her to the finish line, a purist nostalgic for old school simplicity and traditional seafaring beauty. Located in Barnegat, NJ.
This may be a fiberglass boat, but she is NOT a plastic boat. Meticulously researched and crafted over the decades by a perfectionist and tasteful woodworker and sailor who always imagined the worst case scenario, this boat is a lovely tank. She is also basically new (sailed once out on the baythe head and galley have never been used!), super clean, and for sale by owner who has aged faster than anticipated, before being able to live the dream. While he can still pass the baton and be part of your story with her, we are looking for that special someone who will appreciate and realize her potential. $49,900 will get you started.

Inside is virtually new, spic and span. Exterior weathered, but never tested or strained. Teak boards and planking of various sizes and a full sheet of mahogany veneer plywood, plenty of gorgeous stainless steel and bronze hardware, along with an assortment of new lines and an accumulation other boat-building materials included in sale.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A fiberglass version of William Atkins THISTLE (1934).
In doing the conversion to fiberglass, William Crealock said that he kept the basic lines, while raising the sheer and redesigning the rig.
The builder, Larry Kendall, only produced a few boats, before he sold the molds and tooling to Westsail Corp. in early 70’s. The remainder were built by Westsail.
With some design modifications by Crealock, it became the WESTSAIL 32.
Thanks to ‘Gitanecrew’ for corrections on this model.
