Wheeler Yacht Company and Brooklin Boat Yard return Hemingway’s Pilar to Key West.
Wes Wheeler, grandson of the famous boat’s original architect, and his wife Marianne took on the project to rebuild the celebrity boat from the ground up, relaunching Wheeler Yacht Company and constructing “Legend” – a tribute to Hemingway’s iconic vessel. “Legend” is Hull #1 for Wheeler Yacht Company, and there’s many more to come!
