Velatus is a 1974 Westsail 32. She is a full keel double ender oceans cruiser with heavy displacement hull. My goal is to sail her across the Pacific as soon as I could get her ready. I believe that sailing is what help me put together pices of my life. Due to the lack of $$$ to make everything happen in one day, this is going to take some times but I won't quit until I'm finished so let's hope that I can start my jurney soon.
