I saw this Pilot posted on Ebay & just wanted to pass along the listing ........

1973 - Herreshoff Harbor Pilot Launch - A well built and well-found motor vessel ideal for daily endeavors and weekend pleasures. Constructed by skilled craftsmen, modern hand laid fiberglass materials, a real beauty!

Built at the renowned Nowak & Williams yard in Bristol, Rhode Island, this classic Herreshoff is offered for sale.

It has a lifting Boom & Mast for Lobster or Crab pots hauling.

Updated Inboard diesel- Yanmar - 4 cylinder - low hours and runs great!

The Pilot is one of the rarest boats built on the Herreshoff Cat Hull.

This is the ultimate family weekend cruiser! You will certainly be getting thumbs up and waves while you are in the boat. It was used every summer in Nantucket for over 10 years to take a family out and around the island. They really enjoyed the boat and are hoping to find someone to enjoy the boat as much as they did.

Hello,

I'm a proud owner of a Herreshoff Harbor Pilot that i restored myself four years ago. I'm located in Dana Point and would
be more then happy to answer any questions you might have. I have hull # 118 & it was built in 1981 by Squadron Yachts out of Bristol RI. You can find the hull # on the stern next to the exhaust. If you post you're email add or tel # I can ;provide
info on a boat restorer in the LA/Long Beach area & his work is excellent & you can check out his website.
On this Herreshoff Site you can see pic's of my boat by clicking on Heffesfoff Designs not built by HMCo.

Best

Bob

Herreshoff Designs Not Built By HMCo / Lost Pilot Mast Light

« on: June 17, 2016, 02:40:04 AM »

Over the weekend I lost part of my pilot mast light, one of two that have the clear glass with the cage.
The remaining one is stamped (Redodot) I've searched the net to no avail, if someone has a lead
as to where i could locate one it would be greatly appreciated.
Hope everyone has a safe boating summer & thank you in advance.

No Frame involved.  Just a custom cover that fits tighter than a Clam's A@#.

Thanks Joe, for the compliment.
