The Westsail 32 is a 9.8-meter cutter-rigged sailboat designed by William Crealock, W. Atkin, and Colin Archer, built by Westsail Corp. from 1971 to 1981. It features a long keel with a transom-hung rudder and displaces 8845 kg. The design is a fiberglass adaptation of William Atkin's THISTLE, with 834 hulls built, including 31 Kendall 32s and approximately 400 sold as kits or bare hulls. The Westsail 32 is known for its bluewater capabilities; solo sailor Josh Wright crossed the Pacific from California to Hawaii and then delivered a boat from Hawaii to Japan.55:44 Aboard *Into Oblivion*, the owner successfully launched after 20 months on the hard, restarting the engine and refrigerator.16:53 Jerome Rand, aboard the Westsail 32 *Sparrow*, managed AIS contacts and squalls during a passage toward the Providence Channel, noting the importance of propane conservation.0:29 Rand later experienced a knockdown in the North Atlantic aboard *Mighty Sparrow*, where wind-against-current conditions caused a violent roll, tearing loose an external structure and necessitating repairs to the GPS antenna and solar panels.45:14
