My first fiberglass boat! 1973 Vega 30 Searcher, Hull #15, C240 Isuzu.

Before my buying my current 1970 W26 in 1998, I owned Hull #5, a 1972 Searcher berthed at Naval Ststion Treasure Island, San Francisco (I'm not military, but PO was, and the harbor master allowed me to stay as long as thr PO was a partner in the boat - to this day, I owe him $1).

She's traveled the west coast with gone few owners since. About 2 years ago she went from Ventura CA up to Olympia WA. Owner was delayed by weather and crew availability a couple times, but am impressive trip.

I assume you're on Willard Boat Owners, a Groups.io group? All are welcome. A good place to find a Willard for Sale, as is our companion site WillardBoats.org.

Good luck with a great little boat. I love the Searcher model.

As luck would have it, appears a nice example of a W30 voyager was just offered for sale by a member of the Willard Boat Owners Group

I have no personal knowledge of the boat. But as moderator of WBO, I am happy to forward an email address to the owner if anyone has interest

Boat is located in PNW.
