Hi folks-

Unfortunetaly, the time has come for me to sell my beloved Westsail 28. 
It really pains me to sell my boat, but I don't have time to put her to good use. She deserves to be sailed to Mexico or further.  I put a ton of work into upgrades, etc.  She's in great shape.  Specifics below, let me know if you have questions.
