Well, I sold my. :macx: Saturday. :cry: I now have a Westerly 32 Renown to work on. Its been great learning from you all and I hope to see you out on the water some day. I told the new owners about this website, so maybe they will join if they haven't already done so. They are from Savanah Georgia. Thanks again for the help and keep sailing!

Well that should sail better :D :D
Nothing like a big heavy boat when things get jumpy.
Good sailing to you!

Ooooooooohhh, a Westerly ... they aren't so common, this side of the Pond. You're a lucky man, Sailor.

The Mac is a lovely boat to learn in - not only learn to sail, but learn to maintain a boat and customize her to fit your needs. She is a fine boat for gunkholing and weekending, and a great boat for traveling places you can reach by highway. She's a funny-looking travel trailer, but it's quite simple to raise her mast and sail away. However, she is very light for her size, and so she's not sea-kindly in any dirty weather.

The Mac X fits my current activities and my plans for the coming year or two. I hope there'll be a nice Westerly of like size waiting for me, or something else that's comparably stout and sea-kindly, when I'm ready to move up and move on.

Fair winds and following seas, Sailor, and a snug harbor at journey's end!

There was a Westerly at Grab bag sailboats at Casa Rio we looked at but it was a bit more than we were looking for at the moment. Nice boat though.
