Cool classic- great opportunity. An affordable cruiser.
William Crealock designed the popular Willard 8 Ton as a blue water yacht for long distance cruising. Crealock is also known for his work with the Pacific Seacraft line.
This 1975 Willard 8 Ton is currently sloop rigged with a furling genoa. And could be converted back to a cutter if preferred. Boat features a long, full keel and draws 48. Displacement is 17,000 pounds; ballast is 6500 pounds. Beam is 106. Length on deck is 30. LOA length is 35.
Auxiliary power provided by a Perkins 4-108 diesel 45 HP.
Interior features a v-berth forward, head on starboard, lockers opposite, main salon, U-settee w/dining table on starboard, settee/ berth on port, galley and navigation area aft. Propane three-burner stove with oven, an ice box and a Whale foot galley pump for water. Very good 6’4” headroom through cabin. Recent composting marine head. Cabin cushions. New starting battery Comfortable, roomy liveaboard for her length. USB charging plugs added. Fuel tank inspected. Oil and filters changed, raw water impeller changed, LED cabin lighting added.
Icom IC-M402S VHF Radio; a Garmin GPS MAP 740S and Furuno GP-32 GPS/WAAS Navigator; a Garmin GMR18HD Radar; and Raymarine ST6002 Smart Pilot (Autopilot). Solar charging panel. Updated wiring and circuit panels.
This is a solid, well-designed and well-built cruiser that has an established reputation for sea worthiness. Currently in boatyard. Priced to sell.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
LOA w/bowsprit: 35.16’.
Derived from the Willard 30’ Trawler. Willard Marine built five different versions of their 30 footer: Searcher (fish boat style), Nomad (Sedan), Horizon (motorsailer), Voyager (pilothouse) and Sailboat (cutter rigged). William Crealock was the designer called upon to make the necessary adaptation for the sailing model. The Willard company is still in business (2008) but no longer builds recreational craft.
