DREAMBOAT ANNIE is For Sale...


ANNIE HAS BEEN SOLD!

Dreamboat Annie is For Sale.

Due to a bad knee that has gotten worse over the last year and a recent hip injury, I am having to sell my Westsail 32.

I am in Marsh Harbour, Abacos doing missionary work but I sailed the boat to Indiantown, FL so it could be more readily accessible to interested buyers stateside. However, I will be happy to answer questions you might have regarding the vessel.

To make an appointment to see her, he will need to contact:

Advantage Yacht Sales
Dennis Dodge
772-597-0707
866-370-4074

Here are links to various places where interested parties can see hundreds of pictures from the first day I bought her until just recently:

"Dreamboat Annie" has been refit over the last two and a half years and is ready to cruise.

She is one of nine boats built by P&M Worldwide after Westsail Corp. went bankrupt. P&M bought the molds and built only nine boats, Annie is #4 of those factory built vessels.

She is a turn-key Bluewater Cruiser.

Settling In & Boat Work

After three weeks in Marsh Harbour, (though I was in Nassau for a week at a lectureship), I am finally settling in.

The culprit on the starter system was the "Slave Solenoid" or "Secondary Solenoid" as some call it. My good friend, Scott Harris, along with my new friend, Joe Canales, came over today and Scott worked on the starter system while Joe and I put the dinghy in the water.

The engine now cranks on demand, I can now dink out to the reefs and coral heads to fish, snorkel, and explore the island and nearby islands during my free time, and I am flying my Bahamas flag.

I'll move from slip to the hook at the end of the month, (can't afford to stay in a slip here... very expensive and electric is 65 cents per kilowatt hour).

Thanks Scott & Joe for your help! You guys are the BEST!

Fair seas and God bless!

Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas

We made it to Marsh Harbour. It took eight days with a short stop over in Marathon Key, FL. Thanks to Peter Ryan for bringing your experience to the table and sailing with me.

Fair seas and God bless!

Here's some pics...
