About the PILOT 35 (HINCKLEY)
S&S design #1727. This, the third generation PILOT, was designed specifically for Hinckley to be built of fiberglass. A previous Pilot (S&S design #1219) was first built of wood in 1956. Available as sloop or yawl (12). About a dozen boats to this design were also built, under license, in South America for the Chilean Navy. The 'custom' version is shown in the drawing with a raised 'dog house'. Of these, only 5 were delivered, all of them, sloops. Thanks to PILOT 35 owner Eric Machinist for providing updated information.
