Daniel,
I saw your post on the WOA website, and I now can put a name to the W28 #16 Patricia I had on my list with an unknown owner in Hawaii. I try to keep track of all of the Westsail fleet, and have doing a pretty good job of finding boats and owners of the 1100 or so fleet of Westsail boats.

Welcome to the family.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!! Stay safe during these crazy times.

I show most of the 78 owners of a Westsail 28 on my list all over the US, two in Hawaii,one in Alaska, two in Canada, and three in Australia. 

Irish Rose #53 is being rigged and painted (after some terrific wood-, glass-, and metalwork by the previous owner) in the SF Bay Area, and will be in the water for the first time in more than a decade soon. My first boat, and I regularly feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew, but in a good way.

Hi Rick , good luck with Irish Rose . Your mast , ouch . What's the fix ?

Mark .

The boatyard has done a phenomenal job fabricating a new piece of mast (braced internally with a section of smaller mast from another boat, I believe). Can't even see the repair, and the cost should be covered by insurance since it happened in transit.
