First let me say that I think the SS pilot 35 is near the top of my dream boat lists, topped only by a B40 or similar.
I bought a boat that is very close interms of the numbers and performance. But you'd be hard pressed to spend $40000 for one (and it better be near perfect at that price!)
It doesn't have the incredible wood finish...mostly formica and glass....but it is very comparable if you are looking for a boat of the hinckley pilot 35 capability and style.
It is built like a tank.
And for the $100000+ that you won't be spending ....you could have a great interior.
How about an alberg 35?
If you look at
http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html and run the numbers you will see they are close. By the way sail calc can be configured to list boats that meet your requirements....allied princess/ luders 33's/ etc etc

I have to think maybe Carl was doing a little cloning for the everyman???
Nice article in one of RIchard Hendersons book on classic yacht designs on the pilot 35 too!
