Splashing This January: The NEW Pilot 35!
Building on the success of our tried and true Pilot™34 design, Mainship has enhanced the livability and functionality of the design with several key improvements and now introduces the new Pilot™35. A combination of both customer and dealer feedback was tapped in the development of the new model, so the new Pilot™35 draws from the popular earlier model by utilizing the same hull, but with a new deck and interior layout.
The salon area features UltraLeather™ seating with two opposing settees, and the cherry plank flooring provides a durable, beautiful sole. The forward berth area has now been transformed to a full stateroom with sliding pocket doors for privacy. The berth has been upsized to a queen as opposed to the prior Pilot’s smaller V-berth, and there is generous storage space in two cedar-lined hanging lockers and centerline berth drawers. Both areas are well-lit and ventilated by the opening, screened portlights.
The new Pilot™35 features a second cabin with an athwartships double berth. Most notably, this guest stateroom features full walk-in headroom at the entry/hanging locker area. As with all Mainship yachts, storage is plentiful in this cabin and the hanging locker is cedar-lined. An opening, screened portlight provides ventilation and lights the area when the standard high intensity reading lights are not in use. To starboard, the new Pilot™35 features a larger head. In this area, the space has been increased to incorporate a shower compartment enclosed by hinged plexiglass walls. The vanity has a Corian® top.
Mainship’s sundeck galley became a hallmark of the Pilot line with last year’s introduction of the Pilot™31, and the new Pilot™35 makes use of this alfresco layout as well. Located on the starboard side of the helm deck, the sundeck galley is fully equipped, sporting a two burner electric stove, microwave oven, AC/DC refrigerator/freezer, stainless steel sink, and extra storage under the Corian® countertop. Portside helm deck seating options include a dinette or an L-shaped lounge. Power options will include a V-drive single Yanmar 380 hp diesel or a single gas engine.
