Tour of the Quedagh Merchant, our Westsail 43

We are asked 'how big is your boat?', how do you take a shower?', where do you sleep?' often. We decided to make a video going over some of the aspects of our boat, and giving you a tour to answer these questions. We always welcome visitors too; let us know if you want to stop by!

Very nice...If I was only a little younger!! Young lady learn everything you can and even take notes..This is a must.

I saw the boat when you first bought it and all I saw was an old boat but you saw potential. You have done an AMAZING job making her beautiful and a better boat.

[@EarlOutdoors]

Omg, that’s my dad’s old boat!!!
Spent a lot of time in the PNW aboard her! Absolutely love what you’ve done! Solid work!!!

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

Thanks! It’s been fun upgrading and restoring the boat. What a small world

[@EarlOutdoors]

@@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809 no joke! Yeah when he first got her, wow... she needed some work. And then what you guys have done is another giant leap! Amazing!

[@EarlOutdoors]

Tagged you in a photo or 2 on IG from some of our trips aboard.

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

Awesome! I’ll go check it out. The owner after you, Kenny, told us some of the stuff you’re dad did. We kept a lot of it, like the wood on the ceiling.

[@EarlOutdoors]

@@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809 Kenny!!! Omg! That boy was crazy! Hahaha
Yeah I noticed the computer desk was the same and the ceiling. Looooove what you did with the galley. So much better.

Beautiful W43!! I really like the dinette... and that gigantic fridge!

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

The fridge definitely makes a difference!

[@momoparagon]

@@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809 Just curious, how do you deal with opening the fridge when you're on a port tack?

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

@@momoparagon very carefully. The shelves have a little lip which helps a lot. And I put everything in Tupperware in case does it falls out it won’t make a mess. We have had stuff fall out once, but nothing spilled.

Nicest layout for a 43 that I've seen. Great job.

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

Thanks! We really like the layout as well, it’s suits our family and sailing needs.

[@momoparagon]

Love the enclosure and I'm jealous of the quarter berth. That's seriously my favourite place to sleep underway since it feels like a cozy little den. Rather wish we had one aboard. Thanks for the tour!

[@adventuresofthequedaghmerc809]

I would prefer that berth too! It’s the best place to be in high seas

[@theottovanpagel]

Damn thats a nice boat.

[@theottovanpagel]

Wow amazing, all I can say is amazing!

[@xfoxtrotwiskeykilo995]

This is not Gordons channel. We sold it to him. You’ll have to pass him the message another way.
