The one that got away....

Recent dealings after Hurricane Ivan put me in touch with this slightly damaged beauty. The boat had been on the market for the past 6 months, and after the storm, the owner received a check for damages. All he was asking was the difference of his original asking price. I had the opportunity to close for 11G, but though it was a great deal, alas, the timing was not right (sob, sob).

She is a 1976 Willard 30. For whatever reason, this boat's length is actually 30' on the deck. With bowspirt/anchor platform, she measures right about 35'.

The damage is confined to a small area on the starboard side, aft of amidships. Basically it is some non structural scratchs in the paint and gel coat, a bent stansion and stern rail, a bent boom gallows, and a damaged teak toe rail.

The boat is no longer available, but if you want to see some more pictures, follow this link: http://heartofgoldsails.com/Lady_Ann.htm

At 16000 lbs, she is not one to win any races, but she has classic lines and will take you most anywhere you may want to go....
