  1. Little Boat On A Big Ocean

    It is a rugged and simple boat, powered by a single 50hp Yanmar diesel. The Willard 30 is a small boat even for a couple, but a good basic platform on which ZMI could develop those safety and passagemaking features deemed necessary for a boat headed offshore. And if the 30-footer could do it, Willard's 40-foot model was a no-brainer.

  2. Baba 30 vs Willard 30 with Mariner 31 / 32 (Just to Confuse Things

    Hi there, I'm just going to put a shame-free plug in for Westsail 32's. We looked at a slew of boats in the 50K range (including Baba 30s and Williards) and decided you can't get more for the money than with a W32. They're solid, sail well (don't laugh - I click along at 4 knots in 5 knots of wind, sipping a coolly while the windvane steers 50% of the time), and a boat packed and ready to go ...

  8. Review of Willard 30/8T

    The Willard 30/8T is equipped with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space. The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron.

    Well, the third happiest day is when he buys the next boat. I was very happy when I sold my 1977 30-foot Willard Mark IV Flybridge trawler.
