I have recently purchased a Westsail 32 and am interested in finding out more of her history. From the paperwork onboard and discussions with Bud Taplin here is what I know to date:
- The first owner, Joe Cross was a dealer for Westsail in the Pacific Northwest, and kept the boat in Alaska. She was named 'Crosswind'.
- She went through a number of owners, and was sailed to the South Pacific in the mid 2000's as 'Spiritus Invictus'.
- Sold in New Zealand and renamed 'Lona' in March 2007.
- In December 2007 she changed hands in Bangkok and was renamed 'Nagaraj'.
- Sold again in September 2010 and sailed to Mooloolaba in Queensland, Australia where I bought her in September 2011.
If anyone kows any more or has pictures/stories of her past I would appreciate your input.
