The Westsail 43 is a substantial, heavily built bluewater cruising sailboat designed for sailors looking for offshore capability, generous tankage, dependable systems and the ability to remain self-sufficient for extended periods away from the dock. Built in Costa Mesa in 1976, this fiberglass cruising vessel has a displacement of approximately 32,000 lbs. and has been completely refitted and outfitted with an extensive collection of cruising, navigation, communications and renewable-energy equipment.

This particular Westsail 43 has benefited from significant recent investment, including an extensive suite of newer Raymarine electronics, Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar, Axiom 9 chartplotter, AIS 700, Ray 63 VHF, CPT autopilot, Starlink High Performance satellite system, 600 watts of solar, a 400-watt wind generator and a 3,000-watt inverter/charger. Her standing rigging has been replaced, the headsail has been refurbished, and the sail inventory includes multiple offshore and heavy-weather sails.

Additional cruising equipment includes a Walker Bay dinghy with a new Honda outboard, substantial freshwater and diesel capacity, AGM batteries, a new 150-amp alternator, numerous spare engine and cooling-system parts, fiberglass and sail-repair supplies, and a comprehensive onboard tool inventory. The vessel is ready to sail and equipped with all of the systems and spares desirable for extended bluewater cruising!
