    Hi everyone!

    I'm super glad to to be back in the Westsail world and am the happy new owner of hull # 259 , previously Gerty Macdonald , now Wanderer.

    I've been riding my bicycle past her , and watching her  languish away for over 7 years. I finally got the chance to be her new steward.  She is actually quite solid after sitting for so long , and I have just started to laundry list of things to do to get her up to cruising standards.

    I am wondering if anyone here has a printable pdf of the W32 line drawings ...especially of all her storage compartments?

    I'd like to number them and inventory everything so I don't buy things twice.

    Also , her Perkins 4-108 was rebuilt  ( years ago) and turns freely , but I am concerned about the fuel that's been sitting for so long. 

    If I drain it , any suggestions for cleaning out the tank? 

    Thanks!


    Jonny

    Congratulations on Wanderer .  Haha I buy things twice , and then when I put the new thing away , I find the old one . 

    On cleaning out the tank , I haven't done it yet but I did buy these inspection ports . I plan to put 4 of them in .

     I got the 6" ones . No welding is needed and a friendly price of 46.28. each . The Co. is called Boyd welding .com 

    Good Luck , keep us posted .
