W36 Vega and does the Cockpit Seat Make into n Bunk
Hey Ian - my best guess is the Willard 36 sedans were all semi-custom. The interior varies a fair amount between each boat. Most of the early boats had 4 single berths forward - I can't speak to their

W36 Vega and does the Cockpit Seat Make into n Bunk
There is no specific "conversion," just that the W36 Sedan bench is large enough to comfortably sleep. The W36 Sedan aft deck has to be the largest aft deck of any sedan-style monohull under 60-feet.

Windows including curved for 36-foot Sedan
I am back in Ensenada on last leg of refit for Weebles. A few weeks ago there was a thread on windows, particularly the curved corner windows for a W36 sedan. I had a flange fiberglassed into the wind

I wish I had a pic from when this was under construction because I'm not sure the words will adequately describe. A fiberglass guy made a recessed frame that was then fiberglassed into the window open

Hey Steve - been a long time. Hope you and Rattler are doing well. She was the first W36 built, Weebles is the last. Did Mark give any idea why he won't make the frame for the curved windows? He has a

Good thing there is no limit on number of boats having same name. Otherwise, a LOT of Puffin's would be scraping their old name off the transom. An interesting aside - a friend purchased a very nice m

Rubrail on W36 pics please.
Weebles will eventually live in Florida where pilings are almost always the style (except for fuel docks/pump-outs). GIven the guidance from Patience/Capt Bob, I may wait and make a decision later. I

Rubrail on W36 pics please.
Looking for pics of rubrails on a W36 sedan. Headed south soon where pilings are common, floating docks are not. Would appreciate comments on usefulness too. Thanks in advance. Peter
