This 1979 Westsail 43 Aft Cockpit, Hull #51, is a rare and highly desirable bluewater cruiser, one of only 61 built by the Westsail Corporation in California. Designed by renowned naval architect William Crealock and sharing the rugged, proven hull of the famous Westsail 42, chosen by Walter Cronkite for his ocean voyages, this cutter is built for serious offshore passagemaking.
Hull #51 features the sought-after tall rig, enhancing light-air performance and offering a balanced, versatile sail plan. Unlike many Westsails finished by owners, this vessel was professionally completed at the factory, ensuring superior craftsmanship and a high-quality fit-out throughout. The aft cockpit layout provides excellent protection and ample deck space, ideal for handling sails and steering in challenging conditions.
Below decks, the traditional, warm interior boasts generous headroom, abundant storage, and a functional layout perfect for extended cruising or living aboard. Strong, capable, and timeless, this Westsail 43 embodies the true spirit of ocean voyaging, ready to “Westsail the World” with confidence and style. It’s a rare opportunity for sailors seeking a dependable, well-crafted bluewater yacht built to go the distance.

«Yacht Access found my first Hatteras for me over twenty-five years ago; since then they have helped me buy and sell four more boats – and become great friends. Their service during the sale is great, but their service after the sale they is exceptional – without the knowledge and guidance provided by Yacht Access I would never have had such a pleasurable ownership experience. The staff at DDYS knows everyone in the boat business and helped me find the best service and supply vendors to take care of my boats – I could not have owned five boats without them!»
