    Westsails have had a "bulletproof" reputation for years. They're very heavy
    displacement, and have proved they're capable of surviving the worst.

    The only caution I'd give is *age*. These are 1970's era boats. Some will
    be magnificent, as they have been well maintained. Others will be very
    neglected, and will be difficult and expensive to make seaworthy.

    Prices will reflect condition.
