For Sale: Westsail 32 1974 SV Sundowner total refit (LOW Price!)

[SundownerSailsA]

Tate and I are selling SV Sundowner, a Westsail 32 1974 sailboat. She was completely refit from 2010 to 2015 and is being worked on as we sail and live aboard. We planned to sail around the world but health reasons are forcing us back to the States. This is an incredible deal. We spent over $100k total and 5000 man hours getting this boat in shape.

She is ready to cross oceans RIGHT NOW. She is LOADED with ALL new rigging, new Monitor windvane, new Beta Marine engine (<300hrs), new engine shifter, new fuel tanks (80 gal) and filter setup, new batteries house and starting, all new canvas including dodger, bimini and all sail/hatch covers, foredeck sunshade, A TON of sails: 2 mains, a 120 jib, yankee, staysail, storm staysail and trisail, UK flasher spinnaker with sock, Rainman 18 gph watermaker, Engel Fridge, fancy internet setup, new plumbling, new water tanks (74gal) Airhead composting head, new electrical, ALL LED lights, 500 watts of solar, VHF tied to Garmin chart plotter with AIS, Garmin world charts for coconut milk run, Delorme satellite text messenger, new and stored in salon Revere 4 person offshore liferaft, Eprib, Ultrasuede cushions in salon, all cabinets, bilge and engine room painted with Bilgekote an epoxy paint, Dickinson Caribbean 2 burner stove w/h 2 propane bottles, bug screens on all portlights. new bottom paint Nov 2016, Bilge pumps, Manson Boss 60lb anchor with 200 ft of chain, other anchors, Anchor rode Portabote 10' folding dinghy, new 2 stroke Yahama outboard and a million other improvements and extras (jerry jugs, spares, linens, provisions, galleyware, equipment).

Literally you can step aboard Sundowner with your personal possessions and sail away. She is totally self sufficient and can stay at anchor for many months or more without the need to go to land. She has no AC shore power set up. No complicated systems to fail and break. She is a well ventilated boat that has double bubble insulation under the side decks, in the head and in the vberth.

Her interior is rich and warm with teak and holly throughout. She is a factory finished Westsail. She doesn't smell like anything, no mold, pets. Just nice and fresh.

Sundowner is currently in the San Blas Islands Panama, Central America (Panamarina) and we need to sell her as soon as possible. Panama is out of the hurricane belt and it's only $300/month to store her on the hard at Panamarina. It's very secure and safe.

Travel here is easy to Tocumen International Airport and there is no tax to be paid to Panama as she is here as a Yacht in Transit on a cruising permit valid until Sept 4th(1 yr renewable). US citizens get a 6 month visa if you fly in.

We are done cruising for now and have jobs lined up back home so everyday we spend here we are losing money back home.

To facilitate a fast sale we have recently reduced her already low price of $49,500 to $39,500. Our loss is your gain. This is one heck of a deal. Please contact us if you are interested at SundownerSailsAgain at gmail

Price: $39,500

I know Cruiser's Forum can sometimes be a harsh place to post things which is why we haven't been on here much but we know it's a great resource and lots of sailors and future sailors are on here. This is a hard thing for us to do, selling our labor of love, so please be kind.

Wow... Sorry to hear you have to let her go, but what a deal for whoever buys this boat! I followed your refit blog and admire the work you put into this boat. Good luck with the sale and future plans.

Thank you! It's been a great trip and we are excited about the next phase of our life. Looking forward to finding Sundowner a new home.

These old Westsail's are built for cruising and are one of the roomier 32 footers out there. Really good storage, perfect go anywhere boat for a couple on a budget. Seems like a good deal if it's in sail away condition. San Blas Islands are a wonderful location to start your dream cruise.

You could sail across the ocean right now in her. We almost did but changed our minds. She's as big as many 40 footers
