Nereid: Willard 47 Dover pilothouse cruiser

[Trawlers&Trawlering]

Steve Dubnoff and Marian Lowe bought their 47-foot Willard in 2003, promptly changed its name to Nereid, and began cruising in the Pacific Northwest. Nereid has a fiberglass hull and a wooden superstructure and is one of only four of this model built. In Greek mythology, the Nereids were the 50 beautiful daughters of Nereus, a sea god known as the Old Man of the Sea, and Doris, an ocean nymph. Their name means “wet ones” The golden-haired nymphs dwelt in the Mediterranean Sea, where they each had a golden throne in their father's underwater palace. They often frolicked on the surface of the water, where they rode on dolphins and were friendly toward sailers, dancing and playing for them, and helping them if they were in distress.
