Getting a sailboat? Ohhhh….. let me suggest the Westsail 32 of about 1975 vintage. It was a very good year. I just wish I could do it.

Do you listen to Clif, too? I have been listening for about 5 years now. It is sometimes difficult to find him because he has to dodge around so much.

Great boats for sure!

But this time I'd go for something as small and cheap as possible, so that I can walk away from it worst case...

Clif is great of course, few like that around! :-)

A 32 footer is not the largest in the world. This one has a wide beam, though.

Yes, it would be difficult to just walk away from your boat, real difficult.

Had no problem doing that with the last one! ;-)

It was an easy choice, fork out lots of fiat while not getting to use it, or just let the Beast Machine swallow it haha...

But it was a great, little 18 footer for a couple of seasons, cost me ~1200 bucks only ;-)

Mine was a 21 footer that was trailerable and cost $1500. I had to give it to a son. She was my “Sunshine Dreamer”.

Cool! Being able to haul it on a trailer is a great thing, had some smaller boats like that

Yeah, but sometimes launching it is difficult, especially with a treelined launch site. Once the mast is down everything is easy. I hated putting the mast up on the water, though.
