Morning Misfits. One thing I have realized as the years have piled up. Old men can't do anything anymore so they dream....you just saw Big's......I dream about doing all kinds of stuff in the winter.....then spring comes and some how my dream fades to dust. Just like right now....,here I sit broken hearted....tried to ***** but only farted.

Speaking of dreams, I had a strange but nice one last night. I was restoring a vintage 50s/60s high wing airplane. As the project got underway, I kept running into obsolete parts that were missing. Every time, a blast from my past, a deceased friend, would show up with the part in hand; different needed part, different friend. Turned into a real group project. Strange. Woke up with the biggest smile. It was good seeing them all again.

You are not alone Bro, I cry when I see what I use to do and what I can do now, I feel broken with nothing to show for it.
I miss not having any children to pass all my plunder and knowledge on too.

My Yes! What a Bucket List item all of us could do , Around the world on a 32 footer with Big and Bros.....
What condition are the sails in, number of sales and hours on engine. Any wood rot. I have worked on a lot of old sailboats. Also is it at a convenient port.

there is a description in the sales add but it doesn’t say anything about the sails
that is one of the questions I will be asking
same with when was she last hauled out and the bottom done?
what instruments come with it and what is their age and condition?
anchors?
windlass or manual?
I have a list of questions somewhere.......main question is when was it last surveyed....I may have to fork out some money for a survey before I purchase
lots of hoops to jump through but I am a patient human being
One of the original Crealock classics, the Westsail 32 is regarded as one of the best blue water cruisers under 34 foot ever built. This is truly a go anywhere sailboat and is fully outfitted and ready to go with a minimum of preparation. Refit with a new Beta 38 diesel, new standing rigging, and Monitor wind-vane steering in 2012.
The boat once again refreshed in 2018 with winches being rebuilt, general bedding of deck fittings, and a new 20 gal holding tank bring her into full compliance and readiness.
New in 2019 Simrad tiller pilot as a secondary auto-pilot.
Ditchbag, epirb and flaregun for safety eqipment.
Also included is an inflatable dinghy, 2.5hp Lehr pro

Solid design and price is good. But even with 6' head room, still kind of tight inside for an extended trip. I am not sure that my balance is good enough now a days to walk the rails in a rough sea. Grew up sailing boats on the open ocean, both power and sail. And was even a boat mechanic for a while until I figured out that I was too big to get in all those tight spaces.

What fun!
I just pulled up a general layout schematic for the Westsail 32 and it looks like a fun boat for a couple! A cutter rig is also a good idea in light winds and the displacement hull is self-righting.
https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/westsail-32
Your pictures shows a roller reef for the foresail, which is handy for single man operation. Are the sails the originals and if not, are the originals also included (spare)?
Your survey idea is a good one to answer the key questions like why cheaper, wood water content of wood structurals under mast and at key anchor point in the deck and hull.
It looks like it has either a Volvo or Perkins diesel, both good engines when maintained. Does it have engine logs or engine hour meter?
How far away is it now and where would you berth it?

good morning Amigo!
I just got the survey last night and have been reading it
sails are serviceable and in fair condition with workable reefing points and it is easy to reroute all the lines to the cockpit for easy single handed sailing
plust it has a wind vane auto pilot system
new Beta 38 diesel installed 2012 with less than 1400 hours
the boat is in a slip at a marina in Olympia Washington which is right around the corner from Swedes home in Port Angeles
Westsail is the best ever built 32 foot blue water cruiser worldwide and there is mention of it in the movie The Perfect Storm
the boat was surveyed and was found to be in Fair Condition ,overall.
it needs some tlc but it’s mostly standard maintenance and upkeep issues
this boat has good bones
Report Summary
SUMMARY
VESSEL CONDITION
It is the Surveyor's experience that develops an opinion of the OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITI ON, aer
the Survey has been completed and the findings have been organized in a logical manner.
The following is the accepted Marine Grading System of Condion:
''EXCELLENT (BRI STOL) COND ITION'', is a vessel that is maintained in mint or bristol fashion (usually beer than
factory new, loaded with extras, a rarity).
''ABOVE AVERAGE COND ITION'', has had above average care and is equipped with extra electrical and
electronic gear.
''AVER AGE CONDITION'', ready for sale requiring no addional work and normally equipped for her size.
''FAIR CONDITION'', requires usual maintenance to prepare for sale.
''POOR COND ITION'', substanal yard work required and devoid of extras.
''RESTOR AB LE CONDITION'', enough of hull and engine exists to restore the boat to usable condion.
As a result of the Survey, as shown in the REPORT OF MARINE SURVEY & FI NDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS secons of this report and by virtue of my experience, my opinion is:
FAIR
STATEMENT OF VALUATION
1. The ''FAI R MARKET VALUE'' is the most probable price in terms of money, which a vessel should bring in a
compeve and open market under all condions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acng
prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue smulus.
Implicit in this definion is the consummaon of a sale, as of a specified date and the passing of tle from seller to
buyer under condions whereby:
a. Buyer and seller are typically movated.
b. Both pares are well informed or well advised, and each acng in what they consider their own best interest.
c. A reasonable me is allowed for exposure in the open market.
d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
e. The price represents a normal consideraon for the vessel sold, unaffected by special or creave financing or
sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
The market method of appraisal was used in determining a current market value.
