Willard 30 Mark IV

Willard 30 Trawler Yacht

In 1976 Willard Marine began production of the "new" Willard 30, often called the Mark IV or 30/4. (Designated 30FS in the Register.)

This new model had an all fiberglass superstructure, unlike the earlier Vega 30.  This model has been produced in three different versions and the last one was produced in 1988. 

The W30FS is a flybridge sedan version (above).  This version is a derivative of the Vega 30 Nomad design.  28 W30FS boats have been produced.

 

 

 

The W30PH is a raised pilothouse design.  It is somewhat similar to the Vega 30 Voyager design.  The first W30PH was built in 1999. Two more were built in 2001.  [More Info]

 
 
 
The W30LA is a unique adaptation of the W30 design to make a 30-foot boat functional as a 'liveaboard'.  This version cannot be compared to anything. There is nothing quite like it on the market today.  One W30LA was built in 1999. (No picture available.)
