We have a classified ad coming out September 1, in PointsEast and Latitude 38 in hopes of locating more Pilot 35s. We might have some luck finding Harpoon.
HI! Yes, I have the wood grate near the base of the companionway ladder, with the pan below. It's the access to the bilge pump area. If LIBERTE' had a bariograph, it was taken out long ago.
LIBERTE' is a yawl, and she was built in 1967, HRH hull 1217, to Sparkman & Stephens design no. 1215 (Pilot). All woodwork and hatches have '3588' in pencil on the reverse sides, which corresponds to her production number as the 88th Pilot35. The prior owner had bought a used mainsail from another Pilot owner across Long Island Sound with the number 3538, but I changed it with the local PHRF committee back to 3588.
I did a number of upgrades to LIBERTE' and have made her easy to single-hand, which is great for a couple or sailing with non-sailors. A yawl is an absolute joy to sail, and a lot safer in heavy weather (just go with jib and mizzen).
I absolutely love this boat-- and have had some long wonderful cruises on her. She's great for a couple or a small family-- but I recently married a guy with an S&S Swan 44... so guess whose boat is sailed these days (!).
