In the "Age of Sail" no Captain existed who liked to sail into port in the dead of night or in a raging storm, that's where pilot boats came in. They signaled incoming vessels, then came along side to drop off a pilot who could expertly guide vessels into port.
Pilot boats were like the yachts of their day, fast, nimble and seaworthy. The first America Cup Racer, "America", was built along the lines of one of the fastest pilot boats of the time.
Our NY Pilot No. 2 model is hand built plank on frame construction, using original blueprints and only authentic materials.
