Hi Don,
I just wanted to thank you for not
buying Westwind (the
Columbia 36). I was able to convince the sellers to finance my
project boat which keeps my working capital free for the necessary
repairs. Nothing too serious thus far. I will most likely be
posting here shortly if anyone is interested in the progress of this great vessel.
To date, we've gotten rid of that eyesore
dinghy you see in the above photos and replaced it with an 8 foot Walker Bay. We moved Westwind to Waianae
Small Boat Harbor and have started
cleaning her up a bit. I won't be ready for a
haul out until October, so we're just focusing on the
interior at this point.
Engine runs great and we've had her out sailing 3 times in winds up to 25mph. So I was pleasantly surprised as to how well she's handled herself thus far.
Best Regards,
Mako Kidd
