Don & Jane,
Last November, while our daughter studied in Chile, we visited her. She lived overlooking the Marina that our sister-ships were built in Vina Del Mar. We took this opportunity to search out all the information as to the history and whereabouts of any Pilots. Boy did we have an adventure. The Chilean Navy gave us the royal treatment and Christian Yovane's family took us in as one of them. They actually own a lodge and charter Equonix in Patagonia. We have so much to share about this adventure,

Thanks for your inspiration.

Don Jane - love to get a copy of the book. Please email me the details. Thanks Paul

I don't know the orginal name. The name she was given by the 2nd owner was "Indu" - she apparently spend most of her life on the Great Lakes. Around Detroit I believe. I don't know the original owner's name, but according to owner #2, Charlie Eno, he lived in Illinois. The boat was originally a tiller boat (but was retro fitted with a wheel). It has a "custom" layout - with the Galley down the Starboard side, much of the riggin, e.g. the back stay and the furling boom are original issue Hinckley, but there are many variations. For instance there was originally very little detail down below. There are quarter berths and no cockpit seat lockers. There is a U shaped settee. Also the mast is keel stepped, but that makes sence with the wood coach house. WHen we first bought the boat I corresponded with the people at Hinckley in Me with some frequency trying to determine a hull number. Also one of the guys from the yard in Stuart FL has seen her. They confirmed that she is, in fact a Pilot - but they have no idea what the hull number would be.

Please send me an address so we can mail you a check.

Thanks
PRK

I'll send you a check and then you can mail it

Don & Jane, I'd also love a copy. I've been trying to track one down. I got close once at MBYC, but Hinckley SW Northern Light couldn't find it in his basement. Can you email me? Thanks.

Don, Jane, I received the Pilot yearbook yesterday. Thank you very much, I'm happily reading through it :)

Thank you! How much is the check for?

Hello Don and Jane.
I have seen the comments regarding your book Pilot 35.
I am interested in your book. How do I get paid.

I should add that I have in my possession information about the Pilot 35 built by ASMAR (Chilean Navy Yard) and particularly the invoices and orders for construction of the sailboat that I am buying a PILOT 35 name CYGNUS, whose first name was Peter Pan. There is accurate data of sailboats: Cygnus, Equinox, Southern Cross, Yagan, Ona, My Way (to repair).

These boats were built late 1968 and entered the 70s or so. The Chilean Navy has sent technicians to the U.S., brought to Chile the molds, and manufactured in the order of 12 to 13 fiber boats, they have steel frames and a ship hull of 1.30 inches thick. The Navy was looking for a boat, safe and very seaworthy for the training of naval officers. Later it was sold to private and now keeps one or two of them.

I sailed JUPITER Chilean Pilot 35 X1 from 1973 to 1991. I first saw her in Newport Beach where she arrived bringing her owner Charlie Kay to America. His voyage mostly singlehanded was recounted to me as we became friends. He later moved to Spain with his wife Mary. Mary and Charlie came to San Francisco and spent an afternoon on the Bay sailing his former yacht once more. Jupiter went to a new owner in 1991. Mr Lochead sold her in the mid 1990's I believe she may now be in the Northeast.

Yes! Jupiter has a spot in my heart that is close to my dog of 17 years who sailed in Jupiter, STAR. I had full documentation and letters from S&S, and a personal letter from Rod Stevens that I gave to Mr Lochead when Jupiter passed to his hands.. Jupiter lived in berth 39 Clipper harbor for 17 years while Dorothy Wong Farrell ( my first wife & I owned her. Rod Stevens and I contacted each other and those letters too went with J when she passed to her third owner. I am so pleased that you have recognised the South American provinance. I will keep in touch and would love to provide any information that I have regarding the Chilean Pilots

Dear Don and Jane
I tell them that today I have received the book PILOT35
Now I get ready to enjoy the book.

thank you very much
Best regards
Juan Enrique

Hi Don,Sorry I should've included the original name and hull number. She was originally called "Sea Fever" 3557 HRH#1159 I'm considering returning her to the original name but I have objection to "Glide" either. I would very much like one of your "signed" copies even if there is no reference to my boat. I will send a check out later today.
Thank you,
