A Caribbean legend. Now you can carry it.
Since 1989, the William Thornton, better known simply as the Willy T, has been one of the most iconic stops in the British Virgin Islands.
Floating in The Bight at Norman Island, the legendary bar and restaurant has welcomed generations of sailors, locals and Caribbean adventurers aboard its decks.
And now, for the first time, the Willy T has its own sail bags.
It started with just six.
We created a small initial batch of custom Willy T sail bags and quietly sent them over to the barge to see what people thought.
All six sold almost immediately.
That was all the convincing anyone needed.
Today, official Willy T sail bags are available both aboard the Willy T at Norman Island and online, giving Willy T fans a chance to bring a little piece of this legendary Caribbean destination home.
BUILT FOR THE ISLANDS
Designed especially for the Willy T, each bag combines sailcloth on top with rugged black waxed canvas along the bottom, giving it the unmistakable nautical character of sailcloth with a durable base made for everyday adventures. Black flat ropes knot on the interior of the bag. They have chosen three options for interior fabric, which you can select at checkout!
Approximate finished size:
18" wide × 12" tall × 3" deepBecause of the nature of sailcloth and handcrafted construction, slight variations are part of what makes each bag unique.
WILLY T × CARIBBEAN CANVAS CO.
The Willy T collection is produced under Caribbean Canvas Co., our sister brand created for custom collaborations inspired by the businesses, destinations and places that make the Caribbean unforgettable.
And we couldn't imagine a better collaboration to help introduce it.
The bags are available for purchase aboard the Willy T at Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands, right where this whole story began.
But the Willy T doesn't ship.
We do.
We've been given the go-ahead to make official Willy T sail bags available online and ship them directly to you.
While the new Caribbean Canvas Co. website is being built, the collection is available for online purchase here through the St. John Sailsack Co. website.
So if your next trip to Norman Island isn't quite soon enough, we've got you covered.
