As of Nov. 7/18 she is in the workyard being prepped to be splashed next week for this season. If you're interested in checking out this custom yacht for a liveaboard or seasonal cruising in the Sea of Cortez, she will be back on the water soon. This vessel has been cruised every year, and sees constant upgrades and maintenance by it's loving owners.

Designed by William Crealock, the pedigree of this vessel has proven itself as a true bluewater cruiser.

Much of the Westsail 42’s heavy displacement comes from its sturdy and overbuilt hull and deck. The hull is constructed in two pieces. Each half consisting of 12 layers of hand laid fibreglass mat and roving which are bonded together. A two inch flange is molded in place along the sheer line for the hull to deck join. The deck molding is cored in half inch plywood. Both deck and hull were cured for a month where any defects would show up during this time.

The lead ballast was cast in three sections and bedded into place with a mix of asbestos and resin and then glassed over.

With long-distance liveaboard cruising in mind, the Westsail is spacious belowdecks with plenty of stowage. Quality construction abounds.
