This little ship is entered by a bulwark door on the starboard side into the deep, protected cockpit. From here you enter the aft saloon with galley and L-shaped settee. You access the raised pilot house and bridge by a short ladder for a commanding view all around! The bridge was designed for long passagemaking and features a watch berth. You exit out the starboard side door and can climb up and back to the covered aft bridge-deck. Exiting the same door and forward takes you to the bow. Proceeding down to the saloon you then continue forward and down two steps to the full width midships main cabin. Featuring large berths port and starboad there is also a desk and lots of storage. The Dickinson propane heater keeps you warm and dry and the overhead skylight brings in lots of light. Continuing forward takes you to the clever athwartships full-size head with separate shower compartment. Continue forward and you are in the forward cabin with bunk beds to starboard and a large hanging locker. This area also has a ladder to provide quick access to the foredeck!

Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 60 extra photos of this Willard 36 Vega Pilot House .
The Willard Vega Pilot house is a classic troller (not trawler!) styled vessel that is capable of crossing oceans safely. Several have made the 2700 mile trip from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii.

Designed by Bill Garden, she was heavily built in the early days of fiberglass construction. No coring here, just solid hand-laid fiberglass hull and decks! Her hull shape was designed to be fuel efficient and have a gentle motion at sea. With her heavily-ballasted keel she is self righting in the unlikely event of a knockdown in the open ocean!

This Vega has been been maintained by a professional marine engineer who has kept her in top mechanical shape. You could leave for Alaska today or spend some time giving her a new coat of paint and some upgrades to the interior.

These boats are rare as only six were built. They are much-sought-after in the resale market by knowledgeable mariners looking for a safe comfortable passagemaker.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Details subject to contract.
