The Willard 30/8 T is a hallmark of the "pocket trawler" philosophy, representing a transition from traditional timber-built displacement hulls to robust, heavy-weather fiberglass construction. Built by Willard Marine, a shipyard that eventually shifted its focus almost exclusively to military and commercial vessels, the 30-foot series was designed to offer the sea-kindliness of a much larger ship. The "8 T" designation specifically denotes the 8-ton (16,000 lbs) displacement of the vessel—a staggering weight for a 30-foot hull that highlights its scantling-rich construction and massive internal ballast. These vessels were largely based on the Hale Field-designed Vega 30 hull, which was engineered to handle the unpredictable coastal swells of the Pacific Northwest and the California coast.
