A guy in Perth WA copied the W32 and fashioned a 33 foot mold and proceeded to turn boats out here. I bought one second hand and it allowed us to circumnavigate safely over a period of 6 yrs. We were never outsailed by any similar sized yacht ( may of which had every right to) and we actually moved ahead of many more. Tradewind sailing around the world is very manageable, with the Fleming windvane Passage West tracked straight as a die with a comfortable motion, rolly yes but every boat does in such conditions. Westsails still my favourite boat! Gentlemen never go to windward, nothing goes to windward like a 747 was the old saying! |
