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.

«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
