Willard Vega 30 Nomad

The Willard Vega 30 was produced from 1972 to 1975, and was designed in-house by Hale Field.  During those 4 short years, an incredible 110 Vega 30's were pulled from Willard molds.  Willard Marine produced more of this model than any other hull.  This model was built in 4 different versions, - Searcher, Voyager, Nomad, and Horizon motorsailer. 

The Nomad version is a 'sedan' style with flybridge above on the boat deck. 29 of this version were built, as listed below.
