I just Purchased my W28, Seak'n Solotude, on Oahu in Hawaii earlier this year. Nice to make your acquaintance everyone!!!
Year is 1976, Hull #016, previous names: Roxie, Patricia (Patricia was the original I believe).
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.
Hi Daniel , welcome to the group . Can you please post some pictures sometime .
Mark , W28 Patricia A #72
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!! Stay safe during these crazy times.
Rola #17, Elliot Bay, Seattle!
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.
I hope to find one of the 78 available when I can give it a good home.
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.

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.
