Greetings,
Mr. JD. Indeed a nice looking boat but it needs a FB...

Looks stern heavy.

I've been aboard Comorant while she was in Anacortes, WA. I met her owners, both airline pilots, and can confidently say that they've maintained her in bristol condition. If anyone is in the market for a safe, seakindly and meticulously maintained 35' "trawler" perfectly suited for the PNW waters this ones for you.

She doesn't appear to be stern heavy when I took this photo of her in Anacortes:

Carquinez Coot is stern heavy (but with visible waterline stripe) with full tanks. It and the Cormorant were simultaneously built (hulls 5 and 6.)

Stern to stern in China:

The Cormorant has a different arrangement in the saloon/galley. For instance, it has a full-sized refrigerator and more pantry space.

That is because Coots were designed to have oversized anchors and miles of all chain like all real cruisers do.

Almost the same as buddy's Tiny Home.

Nuff said.

Well, except the Coot is 250k more.

Better stern heavy than bow heavy! I never get tired of looking at the Seahorse line! :dance:

Most coots I've ever seen, here in Carquinez Strait, off of Benicia, earlier this year:

Giggitoni · Mar 28, 2016

The white spot on the back of their necks and profile suggest surf scooters (???).

markpierce · Mar 28, 2016

Don't think so. Winter is the coot's time here, most frequently seen at Martinez, across the strait from Benicia. Scooters are larger, and didn't see any lighter-colored females.

I too saw the Comorant in Anacortes, WA a few years ago. The owners have used the boat but it looks new. The boat was immaculate and it was hard to believe the boat had been used.

Later,
Dan

Actually Dan, it was less than two years ago, May of 2014 to be precise, when we were in Anacortes, WA. Great time for sure spending time aboard the Seahorse Marine Diesel Duck 462 'Shearwater' and the Seahorse Coot 'Comorant' featured above. Couldn't agree with you more about the condition of Cormorant.

How old is the Willard 30?

BruceK · Mar 28, 2016

Took a while finding the price.
For Aussies the name is a reminder of the battle to the sinking loss of both, between the disguised German WW2 raider Kormoran, and HMAS Sydney, in 1941, in the Indian Ocean. Kormoran would pose as a merchant vessel to draw in potential targets, and then reveal her real identity, using her substantial armaments.
Fortunately, this Cormorant will draw in interested buyers for a good looking boat.

I think the natural stern heaviness when tanked is due to the mfgrs. assumption that a flying bridge would be added.....I mean, who wouldn't order a flying bridge? :hide:

What is the benefit of having a folding swim platform, other than to minimize docking fees?

Can't give you a DOB for the W30 but mine is a 74. And I don't recall any earlier. Just off the top. The 36 Willard was made in the 60's. Some W30's were made in the late 80's and four PH W30's in about 2000. Willard still makes boats (if you can call them that) but most are dinosaur sized rubber duckies for the military and law enforcement use. Willard toyed w the idea of building a 50' boat w a typical Willard hull not too long ago but Willard makes no pleasure boats at this time and seemingly has no plans. The 2016 Rendezvous is coming up in May.

May 16, Port Angeles; hmmm...maybe I can pop in. How many Willards usually attend?

I didn't order the swim platform option on my Coot. The builder mistakenly installed it so I got it free.

I rarely use the platform and keep it raised since it drags in the water while underway. The platform is low, so it makes a good bow landing for a soft-bottomed dinghy. When raised, ducks can't use it and deposit their droppings.

BruceK · Mar 30, 2016

You can see in pic 2 above why a swim platform is often called a duckboard in Australia.

Cervelo · Mar 30, 2016

I can't even make up my mind between monohull or cat...but every time I see a Coot I fall in love with it!

I know exactly what you mean...they are very "salty" looking.

In that case, it would probably be a Gator board in South Florida

In Louisiana Bayou - "Snake Board"!

Like to hear from anyone in northern Queensland, or the Northern Territory(doubt we have any TF member there)if they have seen a crocodile on the "board". I`ve seen crocs in the water in Cairns, they can grow to 4 metres, that`d look good on the board.
