A Documentary would be Awesome! 8 minutes is certainly not enough!!!!

That boat just oozes character. A reflection no less of a great character who owned the same back in the day!

Loved seeing that Hemingway's boat has been recreated and given a new life! Great video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Pretty darn cool. Visiting Hemingway’s place in Cuba would be a trill. It’s neat that the Cuban government holds him in such high regards as to preserve his home, furnishings, and Pilar.

Hemingway was vehemently anti-fascist and supported communist causes including Castro's revolution. After Castro nationalized US interests on Cuba, the USA gov wanted Hemingway to denounce Castro, but Hem refused.

Amazing recreation of this important, historical vessel, we love Wheeler Yachts and Brooklin Boat Yard and both their classic wooden boats!

Very cool .. you need to make a documentary about this ! 8 minutes is not enough ! Congratulations

Now that's a gorgeous yacht!! Absolutely Love that black hull!! So dramatic! And offset with the polished mahogany makes it stunning.

Congratulations to Steve White, his fantastic crew at Brooklin Boat Yard and to the Wheelers! History actually lives on!!! Many years ago l had the fortune to sail to Cuba and the second thing was to actually see PILAR! She's in remarkable condition!!

Awesome, and yes agreed Steve White and his crew are doing a fantastic job building wooden boats up there in Brooklin Maine. So great you got to see the original Pilar in person!

Phenomenal! What a good looking fishermen’s yacht.

Agreed, very classy yacht - not only one of the most famous fishing boats of all time, but also an awesome wooden boat to cruise around in style. Check out the builder's newest Wheeler 55 - a bigger but similarly classy version of this boat, that exudes sophistication and exemplifies the same level of craftsmanship!

What was it powered by?

Stunning boat but is there a way to lock it up when you're not onboard?

Good question - yes, it does have some security features. Inquire with Wheeler Yachts for more specifics on that1

is this a category B sea worthiness?

We believe so, yes. She runs in open water, and can handle rough seas. Although she was designed more as a coastal cruiser at present, and if you get into really rough stuff, you can likely expect some broken dishes :)

How much?

How many feet is Pilar?

38 feet

Ok now get to work and replicate Earnest Hemingway.

This is a boat

The real Pilar was round bilged. This thing is hard chined. That's just for starters.

Well it’s been updated for sure. But constructed by the same family that crafted Hemingway’s boat, and with the original plans in hand, after studying the actual Pilar inch by inch. So it’s pretty legit! We suggest you talk to the builders directly to see how meticulous they were in building this beautiful yacht.
