WILBUR 31′ WEEKENDER – ‘SALTY’

“We have certainly enjoyed our Wilbur here in the Pacific Northwest and thought we would send you a picture of “Salty” our 31 footer. Our cruising has taken us throughout the San Juan Islands and into Canada. We find that the boat handles extremely well in rough sea conditions and is an ideal cruising vessel in this environment. The quality and the economics of the Wilbur makes it one of the finest vessels that I have owned. The picture shows our boat on Sequim Bay.”

“Finally… a real boat. Years ago I tried to buy a Penobscot 42, and have admired them for years. So, a chance to deliver ‘Blueberry Gull’, a Wilbur Northern Star 42 to it’s owner was great. She proved to be a stout little ship, very comfortable, beautiful layout, a great pleasure to run in the ocean and the waterway.”

WILBUR 34 WEEKENDER ‘PERSEPHONE’:

We’ve been quite busy with ‘Persephone’. We doubt you would recognize her! It has been such a thrill to watch the evolution from “in need of a good home” to the show girl she is fast becoming. This year marks the third season of fun in our 34’ Wilbur and we couldn’t be happier. We took on the task of putting a new Soundown ceiling in this year as well as re-painting the galley and helm station. No divorce court yet so we guess we can handle anything. Everywhere we go, people comment on what an extraordinary boat she is. There is not a weekend that passes that we are not either cruising to Block Island, fishing Long Island Sound or Montauk, or just plain enjoying the ride from the Mystic River. Can’t wait for your next reunion! We are so anxious to show her off.

Regards to all ….without your crew this dream would never have happened!

P.S. Love the picture at the end of Lee’s articles! That picture will always be a favorite of ours.

“We continually had people approach us and ask about our Wilbur, many of which we invited on board to give a tour. We provided contact info as many sincerely seemed interested in owning a Wilbur. Clearly these pacific northwest boaters spotted the beauty of the design, seaworthiness and quality that goes into a Wilbur.”

“Dichotomy has performed beautifully in a variety of Lake Superior weather – and turns head wherever she goes. At age 86 I still go out in her alone most of the time.
