"Hi John
Congratulations on your acquisition of Sea Finn. Was she not Airball and originally Rascal III from Manhasset Bay? The book Pilot 35 was originally published in May 1984 and is thus considerably out of date. This Pilot website is…"

Pilot 35 Service
For almost thirty years, John M. Pratt was a service manager at The Hinckley Company in Southwest Harbor, ME. During the 1980s and 1990s, John supervised several upgrade/retoration projects on our TECUMSEH (#3558, now CAPER). THC's bean counters dismissed John (and others representing an aggregate of 90 years experience) this past January. Happily, John has relocated as Service Manager at Atlantic Boat Co.. He is available to any Pilot owners who wish to discuss service and/or restoration…

- 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,

- 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

- 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.
