Herreshoff Harbor Pilot trailer specs......

Bunk VS Roller Trailer for the Herreshoff Harbor Pilot .....

Greetings-------- in response to the trailer specifications for your HERRESHOFF Harbor Pilot I recently purchased a Sea Lion 18 foot 3100 pounds single axle bunked trailer. I transported a Herreshoff America from Smith Mountain Lake Virginia to Oneco Connecticut without any problems. After doing extensive research I decided upon purchasing a sea lion trailer it costs me approximately $1850 with a spare tire and tongue jack as added accessories. I have found the trailer to be of excellent quality with no defects and you will be able to purchase a similar vehicle by using their website. If I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to call me at 1-860-591-8619<jacaparco@aol.com> ,best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely John Caparco -

In Response To: Herreshoff Harbor Pilot trailer specs (rbstuart)

My HA 18 sits on a roller trailer with four keel rollers. You need to have the keel supported and either fitted bunks, which will provide more support, or rollers, which are easier to fit, to support the hull as it is thin and won't support a lot of weight...My cat stays in my yard on the trailer, but if you are going to haul any distance, I would get a trailer with bunks that is fit to the hull. Dual axles will tow better than single, but it would be more difficult to move around manually. If distance is in your trailering plans, go with the dual axle if possible. Good luck. Don

this post was this summer from the owner of "Little Toot".....


 
I put Little Toot in the water last week for the first time in two years. Figured it was better to use her then let her sit until I am ready for the complete restoration. So far in just a week I have put 10 hours on her. The wife, who hates most of my boats, loves Little Toot. Last night she stopped at Boston Market and picked up dinner. We took Toot over to Silver Bay and dropped the hook. We had the place to ourselves.
The crossing to Silver Bay was interesting. The wind was blowing about 20kts out of the ENE. Seas where breaking, white caps, at about 2-3 feet. The boat handled the sea condition very well. Following sea was a piece of cake. Straight beam was ok, as we did take spray into the cockpit. The boat had no tendency to roll or broach. The trip back home into a headsea was a wet one. We took spray over the pilot house. Turned to a quartering headsea and only took spray into the cockpit.
Not one other boat out on the trip home. We had the whole north end of the Barnegate Bay to ourselves except for the seagulls and ospreys.

Really cool little boat that can handle some big stuff. ;D

Hi Joe,

HIN  TSPHP0060374 (Hull #6) Built 1974 by TPI
Added 600# of lead ballast this spring.  It made all the difference in the world lessening the roll considerably.  Had the prop re-pitched from 10 to 12 which gives us 6kts at 3000 RPM.  Ran through 12 gallons of diesel fuel which equates to roughly 50 hours steaming at 5kts.

Pics attached.  I assume that you got the photos that I sent last time (should have been 14 shots.

Regards,  Merrill

I talked a couple months ago to the owner of a Harbor Pilot that is in Rhode Island but his price exceeded my budget.  The owner said he would think about selling it again in the spring.

Update:  In looking through the old posts I see that this is IslandTracer's boat listed a few pages back.

Subj: Re: Did Marblehead Yacht club ever own a Herreshoff Harbor Pilot Launch ?

 
Good morning Cardinal Joe,
I do not believe that The Marblehead Yacht Club has ever owned a Herreshoff launch.
Perhaps the Corinthian YC of Marblehead, or the Eastern YC of Marblehead may have.
I am relaying your E-Mail to Mr. Steve Karger our Club Manager and un-official Historian, perhaps Steve can help you or steer you in the best direction.
Chuck Mara , Past Commodore, Marblehead Yacht Club

Here's a couple shots of the Harbor Pilot I just purchased from a boatyard in Guilford, CT.  It's a running boat but needs some TLC.  If the Hour Meter is accurate, the motor has less than 2000 hours on it.  But I want to go through the cooling and fuel systems to make sure all is well and will look at the electrics as well.  As far as the rest of the boat is concerned, I'm just going to strip and repaint the bottom and polish up the red gel coat.  Hopefully I'l be able to do all this before the next boating season which start a bit early here in South Carolina.
