“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.

“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.”

Captain Bill Lowe
Owner “Blueberry Gull”
“A local tug boat operator was hired to drag the boat off the grounding and as soon as it hit the water, we started it up and drove it to the boatyard. No water in the hull, no damage other than a few deep scratches and a slightly bent prop. To say that you build a strong boat is an understatement.”

Howard Cherry
Owner “Full Chat”
“FETCH always draws admiration and inquiry at marinas we visit and loves it when the waves are 8′ to 12′ and it’s blowing like stink.”

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.”
