Ernest Hemingway's Boat Pilar Reborn As Legend - Wheeler 38

Ernest Hemingway's yacht "Pilar" has been painstakingly recreated by the family who built the original for the celebrated American author. Wes Wheeler, grandson of the famous boat's original architect, and his wife Marianne Wheeler took on the project to rebuild this celebrity boat from the ground up, relaunching Wheeler Yachts and sparing no expense to construct "Legend" - a spitting image of Hemingway's well-known vessel. She is complete with modern upgrades seamlessly integrated and hidden beneath her classic downeast wooden boat exterior. Ryan McVinney and Marilyn DeMartini join the couple onboard to learn the whole story behind the boat and how she was built, from learning about Hemingway's fishing days aboard the original, to how Brooklin Boat Yard worked to assemble the vessel in their facility in Maine.

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!

This gorgeous, I would love to see it first hand... no, I would love to own it!

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!

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

@boattrader Жыл бұрын

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

Ok now get to work and replicate Earnest Hemingway.

is this a category B sea worthiness?

@yachtworld 6 ай бұрын

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 many feet is Pilar?

38 feet

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

@boattrader 2 ай бұрын

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.
