Pilar by birchbaysider - FINISHED - Constructo - 1:27 (Ernest Hemingway's Fishing Boat, 1934)


Recommended Posts

I had a build log of Pilar before the content was lost and wanted to repost the photos.  Pilar was Ernest Hemingway’s faithful yacht, notorious for chasing big Marlin, Tuna and German u-boats.  Many people call it The Pilar or El Pilar, but it is just Pilar.  I posted a history of Pilar on the Nautical History Forum for those who are interested.

First step is to fix the bulkheads to the keel.

I know the importance of the frame being perfectly straight, so I wanted to come up with a jig that would keep the keel from twisting and at 90 degrees to the bulkheads.

I decided to alternate Mansonia and Sapele veneer to plank the bridge deck.

Bridge deck planked and attached

 

 

 

Hemingway ordered Pilar with the back 10 feet of the stern lowered 1 foot for fishing, so the main deck is 2 pieces.

Attaching sheer strake

 

 

Since Pilar's stern had been lowered 1 foot for fishing, the first strake from the top to extend the length of the hull would be the third one down.

Next will be to take some measurements and plan how to finish planking the hull.

I put temporary battens in place and marked the positions with tape.  Due to the shape of the hull, the way the planks wanted to naturally lay was to pile up on top of each other near the bow, so I thought this boat would be a challenge to plank.  But since almost every plank needed to be tapered one half width at the bow they were easy to bend into position.

Cutting the rabbet for the stem took some time getting it straight, the right depth and width so there would be no gaps.

I thought that Pilar needed a gaff hook to land all those big Marlin and Tuna so I fished a barbless hook out of my tackle box and made one trying to make it look well used.

Originally, Hemingway ordered the hull to be painted black.  After a few years he had the hull re-planked with Mahogany and it was left all natural above the waterline.  The kit shows white below the waterline with all natural wood above.  The restored Pilar in Cuba has a red, yellow and black hull with green and natural wood above deck.  The pilar replica in Florida has red and black below the waterline with natural wood and green above.

I like this color scheme because of the contrast between the white, black, red waterline and natural Sapele wood.

This is a wonderful visual diary of a beautiful build.  As I get ready for the next steps with the Pilar, I want to thank you for taking the time to reconstruct your log.

Thanks for the comment, Jon.  There's not much info on this kit and I wanted to share my build log with others who are interested in this famous American fishing boat.

I'm not fond of working with metal, so the flying bridge was a challenge.

As you can see in the photo, Pilar actually had six galvanized pipes running from the bridge up through the poop deck to the flying bridge, but the model has two.

I alternated grain types of Sapele veneer on the poop deck like on the cabin roof and I think it turned out looking fine.

Next step will be to work on the skylight, prop and rudder and small metal components.

I painted the cabin roof black below the skylight to give the impression that the dark cabin is below.

The model has one prop, but Pilar actually had twin screws.  Hemingway ordered the boat with a 40 hp 4-cylinder Lycoming engine for trolling in addition to the standard 75 hp Chrysler Crown reduction gear engine.

Greetings Scott,

 

Nice model of Pilar. Wooden Boat magazine did an in depth article on her recently. I wish I had kept that issue. After seeing your build, I will be getting the kit soon. It will be good to get away from spars, guns, rigging, etc. for a while. She looks to be not much more than 24", so she is a good size too. I might try to model an engine for her as well. If remember the article, her main engine was a gasoline fueled flat head straight 6 cylinder, but she also had a smaller engine for trolling. Very interesting model and I give credit to Constructo for manufacturing the kit. Also, your work on her is top notch.

Thanks for the info.  The article is in the July/August 2013 issue of Woodenboat Magazine.  I put a hold on it at my local library.

 

When Hemingway had the flying bridge added it came with a Model T steering wheel.

Greetings Scott,

 

I found an article online at www.woodenboatrepair.com. There is a picture of the Pilar replica showing the running gear. It is quite different from what the Constructo plans might show and truer to how she was built. You will note that the propeller shaft extends from the keel and is closer to horizontal, and that the shaft support is a casting. Further, the rudder is part of this skeg assembly, which is the way she would have been built. It looks as though Constructo was playing it by ear when they designed the running gear.

Pilar is finished, but sometime I would like to add outriggers and make it a real fishing boat.

Thanks for the compliment.  BlueJacket's Runabout looks like a great kit, but way out of my price range.
