35' Hinckley 35 Pilot Cruisers

Construction

Ã?  Ã?  Ã? "Most owners think their Pilots are very well-built. In fact, not a single one (from our modest sample of over 20) gave their boats anything less than highest marks in the ââ?¬Å?constructionââ?¬â?¢ category. Writes Don Danilek, compiler of the Pilot 35 Yearbook, ââ?¬Å?The Pilotââ?¬â?¢s construction, like her design, is legendary. From the faired stemplate with its integral chocks and tack fitting to the integral flagstaff as part of the stainless stern pulpit, the Pilot is the epitome of quality construction.ââ?¬ï¿½ In reality, no one really knew what ââ?¬Å?the epitome of fiberglass constructionââ?¬ï¿½ was in the pioneering days that produced the first Pilots. Therefore, they were overbuilt. The hull laminate in the way of her keel was up to an inch thick. Nowhere is her solid glass hull less than 3/8ââ?¬Â³ thick. Her two hull halves (she was built in a clam-shell mold due to worries that her slight amount of tumblehome might make her difficult to release from a standard one-piece mold) are taped over with layers of matt and roving that make stem and stern virtually bulletproof. Bob Hinckley recalls a Pilot being dropped from a TraveLift six feet onto her stem. ââ?¬Å?Creased the gelcoat for about a quarter of an inch around the impact spot,ââ?¬ï¿½ he remembers.

Ã?  Ã?  Ã? Her 4200 pound lead keel was attached with 3/4ââ?¬ï¿½ Everdur bolts. The hull and deck on the Pilots were joined using the system Hinckley employed on all of its boats: The deck was bedded on wet mat laid on a 6-inch wide inward flange on the hull. Screwed in place while the chemical bond set up, it was then capped with a toerail bolted through both flange and deck. ââ?¬Å?The method pretty well removes the problem of deck leaks,ââ?¬ï¿½ Hinckley says. ââ?¬Å?All you might get is problems in the way of the chainplates or the stanchions, but we bed them very well, too.ââ?¬ï¿½

Ã?  Ã?  Ã? Interior wood was equally robust, right down to the inch-thick treads of the teak and holly cabin sole. Extra fiberglass reinforcement went into the chainplates and in longitudinal stringers designed to stiffen the hull fore and aft. ââ?¬Å?When we first worked on our boat,ââ?¬ï¿½ says Danilek, ââ?¬Å?my wife Jane remarked, ââ?¬Ë?On this boat, when I lean on something, it leans back.ââ?¬â?¢Ã¢â?¬ï¿½

Ã?  Ã?  Ã? At a displacement of 13,500 pounds, the Pilot pays some performance penalty for being so strongly built. Many of todayââ?¬â?¢s 35-footers not only afford more waterline and room but weigh in at from 3000 to 6000 pounds less. The lighter the boat, the less ââ?¬Å?dead weightââ?¬ï¿½ there is to subtract from performance. Also, in reckoning the cost of a boat youââ?¬â?¢ve got to figure on the cost of the materials that went into her. Heavier boats cost more for that reason." ~ Practical Sailor
