Hey Brian,
I am sure am glad you didn't get your Westsail bug until after I bought Jack's Sea Dreamer II.
It's been almost 4 years now and I am happy as a pig in a poke, I've been living aboard ever since, making full use of it. Your grandfather did a great job on his kit-build and other than a few updates, it has needed nothing serious. When Bud stayed on board during the rondie last summer he commented on how much my W32 (she's called Drømmen now) looked like it just stepped out of the showroom.
The name is Norwegian, as both the boat and I are based on a Norwegian design. It means "The Dream", partially as an homage to Sea Dreamer II, a name I would've kept but it was already spoken for here in Canada.
Good luck with the project!
Stephen Wylie
