1980 Vagabond Center Cockpit

This vessel was custom built as the personal yacht for Buddy West, President of Vagabond Yacht Corporation, back in the early 80’s. Buddy West named her WEST WIND VI and sold her to a gentleman in Michigan who changed her name to WINDSWEPT. He owned her for quite a few years and and then put her away in heated storage for the last eight years that he owned her. The third owner kept her in Sister Bay, WI and changed her name to BLACK PEARL. He sailed her for a few years and then took her to Milwaukee and put her in heated storage for the last six years that he owned her. This vessel was purchased in 2015 by its current owner who invested over $50,000 in upgrades and improvements both mechanical and electronic and hundreds of hours of associated labor. The current owner is an experienced sailing individual who was a partner in Lyons Yacht Works in Michigan, one of six worldwide Hans Christian dealers. He sold and commissioned sailing vessels up to forty-eight feet in length. He is also an Industrial Designer which gives him the vision and ability to design and build what this vessel aspires to. The current owner is a very detail driven individual with an engineering mind who has meticulously focused on the mechanical and electronic upgrades and replacements throughout this vessel. Where work was done below the floor level, everything was sanded and painted. When a ceiling panel was removed, it was spray painted with AwlGrip and the teak trim pieces were sanded, stained and refinished. The current owner loves this boat and is reluctantly selling this vessel because of getting older and looking for smaller projects.
