I'm looking to buy a Westphal 28 One - Design that's fairly inexpensive and fairly close to me. But I know absolutely nothing about them. I've read on sailboatdata.com that most were destroyed in a Hurricane in the 80s and that they had a unique stowable tender in the cockpit design but the only pictures I can find of it are two of the bow of the one for sale, and no other information. I'd really like to know what I'm getting myself into if I buy this.
Westphal 28
- Thread starter amessick
- Start date
As a sailor who has bought 5 used sailboats over the past 40 years, as well as worked as a broker, my advice to buyers of used boats is to buy (1) well-known name brands and (2) with an eye on the future when you sell it. It is a lot harder to sell a lesser-known, or unknown, make of boat when you eventually "move up" (or out).
I'll be honest, I don't believe I'll have much interest in reselling it. I tend to have a strong attachment to the first of anything I buy
Still looking? Check this out.

Hi Amesick
Did you get your westphal ?
I've been contacted buy a guy that has one for sale at a great price .
He contacted me as I have a 46 ft westphal.
I also think the reason they don't seem as common is maybe because once you bought one you would never want to sell it .
They are amazing boats .
Thanks woody
