Willard Vega 30 Searcher

The Willard Vega 30 was produced from 1972 to 1975, and was designed in-house by Hale Field.  During those 4 short years, an incredible 110 Vega 30's were pulled from Willard molds.  Willard Marine produced more of this model than any other hull.  This model was built in 4 different versions, - Searcher, Voyager, Nomad, and Horizon motorsailer. 
The Searcher version is a 'pilothouse' style with flybridge above and a lowered aft cabin. 20 of this version were built, as listed below.

Correction to Searcher Hull No. 4

Hull No. 4 was mis-identified here as being "Kailana", now corrected to be "Knot Again."  But which hull is Kialana?  If you know, please contact me.
UPDATE: Looks like she is actually Hull Number 1 -- the very first Willard 30!
