The Willard 30 is a sailboat that has many positive and negative aspects, depending on the expectations and preferences of the sailor. Some of the pros are: It is a sturdy and seaworthy boat that can handle rough weather and long voyages; It has a spacious and comfortable interior with ample storage space, a galley, a head, a dinette and a double berth; It has a pilothouse that provides shelter and visibility in all conditions, and allows for inside steering; It has a cutter rig that offers versatility and balance in different wind angles. Some of the cons are: It is a relatively slow and heavy boat that does not perform well in light winds or tight manoeuvres; It has a high fuel consumption and a small fuel tank, which limits its motoring range; It has a low freeboard and a narrow side deck, which makes it wet and difficult to move around on deck; It has a limited availability and a high price on the secondhand market, which makes it hard to find and buy.
