PAW PAW

Westerly Ocean 43

When I purchased Paw Paw in the summer of 2008 there were a load of unexpected problems and silly faults which did not become apparent until I had delivered her from Lymington to La Rochelle... Lots of silly things due mainly to the fact the previous owner had not really used her during the 4 years she was his... He had installed lots of goodies but not really considered the full implication of the changes made or how practical some of the systems really were.

As the various faults and problems appeared I sorted them out - made things the way I think they should be.

She is a wonderful boat. I never in my life thought I would own such a lovely craft. So comfortable. So easy for Louise and I to sail. So fast even in light winds. She is an absolute dream. In the 18 months we have owned her we sailed her from Lymington to La Rochelle for the delivery in mid summer.... Having done that trip twice in the summer we were a little sailed out and the weather deteriorated so we ended up just doing a little local sailing. In 2009 we sailed her down to North Spain and back....Along the Spanish coast and loved it. A short time later we did a genuine cruise up to Trinity and 'did' most of the French Islands. So comfortable, such a pleasure to sail...

I am so lucky to have this boat!
