After I originally posted the Caswell article, I went back and highlighted the sentence that indicated that Hale Field designed the Willard 40 and contributed to the Vega 30; the Horizon model I would

Thanks for the clarification, Mr. McNames. So what I’ve learned is that William Crealock scaled down the Garden 36 hull for use in all W30 Vega models, and that Chris Caswells 1976 article (thank you

The previous article did not mention Hale Field and his contribution to Willard boats. The following article was written about him in 1976 and his contributions to Willard. Willard built his boat "Fra
