Interior Layout
Due to the fact that nearly half of the Westsails sold were in kit form, variations in the interior abound. Despite the multitude of owner-completed boats, most will be found to have been completed with a high degree of craftmanship and pride, a testament to the sailors that sought this traditional design.
