With the plan of buying and refitting a bluewater sailboat for extended cruising, my girlfriend and I searched for a year and a-half, finally finding and purchasing (Jenny Leigh ), a Westsail 32 at a little marina in Key Largo, Fl. in late 1998. After a short cruise of the Florida Keys, we sailed her home to Madiera Beach, Fl. and spent the next 4-5 years sailing weekends and working on her. Ready to complete the refit, she was hauled in early 2004. However, due to lifestyle changes: getting married, buying a home and having a baby, we have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we can no longer dedicate the time or financial resources to the project and have decided to postpone our cruising plans for the time being. Jenny Leigh is now seriously offered for sale.
If you have the basic skills to complete this project and the desire to save a significant amount of money as compared to a commissioned Westsail 32 in similar condition then this boat is for you. She can be worked on where she is in the yard (storage fee is 200.00 a month) or she can be delivered anywhere you desire for a reasonable price.

Also available to the new owner are the knowledge and resources of the Westsail Owners Association and Bud Taplin’s Worldcruiser Yachts. The WOA is a 400+ member organization of enthusiastic Westsail owners dedicated to sharing ideas about maintaining, repairing, upgrading and cruising their boats via an online forum accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.. Worldcruiser Yachts, headed by Bud Taplin (former general manager of Westsail who oversaw and put into practice the methods used to construct the WS 32s ) specializes in supplying replacement parts and advising on the best ways to address issues common to these boats. Also included is a set of original factory manuals describing the schedules and procedures used to construct the boats and all the blueprints and patterns, dimensioned and showing quantity and type of material used to fabricate all the various components. A factory manual for the Westerbeke 46 auxiliary diesel is included as well.
