Watkins Seawolf 30
Description
The Watkins Seawolf 30 (also known simply as the Watkins 30 or W30) is a 28.92-foot fiberglass monohull coastal cruising sailboat that originated as a minor evolution of the Watkins 29. Designed in-house by the Watkins Design Team (often credited as Walter Scott/Watkins), it was built by Watkins Yachts Inc. in Clearwater, Florida. In 1988, the W29 received a reverse transom modification (similar to the Watkins 33) to become the W30, with production running from 1987 to 1989. Only about 30 boats were built before the company ceased sailboat production in late 1989 (the last known hull was W30 #90 in the continuous serial numbering sequence shared with the 29). After Watkins was sold to McLaughlin Body Company in 1986, the sailboat line was rebranded as Seawolf, so later examples carried Seawolf badging or marketing.
