Name | Name | | | John Murphy | | 12-Apr-2018 23:13 | I am looking at a Liberty Mark II (centerboard/tiller model) which certainly does not have the advantages of the cruising Mark III. I would be interested in areas to look for problems as well as recommendations on upgrade modifications suggestions. Also, intrtested incomments regarding the 2 cylinder Yanmars installed in said model. Jack |
Rodney Trivette | | 04-Dec-2015 20:20 | I think I still have the drawings Ron gave me while he was still in business. My Dad Raeford worked with Ron until they went out of business. I also have a large picture of Rosebud sailing a reach. Loved the boats and the times spent watching and learning from Ron and my Dad. |
Jon Bradley | | 20-May-2014 04:09 | I'm trying to obtain an RCD certificate for Rosebud so that I can take her back to Europe.Does anyone know where the line drawings are for the Mk III Pied Piper. Alternatively does anyone have evidence of her trips to the Caribbean. |
Jon Bradley | | 28-May-2013 04:35 | I purchased Rosebud in December 2012, she had been sailed hard and well maintained, needed some cosmetic work and a new suit of sails. Effective 12th May she is back in commission and looking really good. I hope to take her back to Northern England/Scotland with me. |
Scott Wood | | 16-Oct-2011 14:28 | We bought hull #9 a few months ago in New Bern, NC. She was named A-One at that time. We brought her to Knoxville, TN and re-named her TARDIS from the Doctor Who sci-fi show. We are enjoying sailing and updating her with plans to bring her to Florida and the Bahamas. |
Kevin guilfoyle | | 02-Nov-2010 21:02 | I had a peid piper hull #9 we named her Seascape. Bought her in Oriental april 2009 . Nice sailing boat |
Randy | | 01-Mar-2009 07:54 | Hey Gary Randy from Mercer's Boat yard. I'm that guy that built #5. Give me an email. Living in Thailand now. Hope to hear from ya. |
| | 21-Jan-2009 20:24 | Eric, Good luck with your purchase. I don't have any specific info on her but Carolina should be a great boat. Garry |
Eric Walburgh | | 20-Jan-2009 01:11 | I am negotiating purchase of Pied Piper CAROLINA which you show in your gallery. Do you know where I might find any history about her? Thanks |
Wayne Canning | | 18-Jul-2007 23:25 | Gary hope you remember me, I helped build Rosebud. Great to see you have enjoyed her drop me a note sometime. Also If you or anyone knows where I can contact Zoltan please email me. [email protected], ncyachtsurveyor.com Thanks Wayne |
Vic Pasini | | 21-Mar-2007 21:18 | Zoltan was our best man, and two years ago we went to vist he and becky in NC. They are the greatest. |
Rick Vollans | | 07-Dec-2006 18:27 | Hi, I am contemplating the purchase of a Liberty Pied Piper and would appreciate any additional input you might have beyond what I see on your site. What is your opinion of the Volvo engine that was in the Liberty Pied Piper? Any starting problems? How did it sail into the wind? Any other input would be greatly appreciated, because there is so little info available. Thanks much. |
Ron Lawrence | | 06-Jun-2006 01:51 | I have a very nice 1986 Pied Piper 28 located in New Bern NC that I unfortunately have to sell due to family and work obligations over the next 3-4 years. Interested persons should contact me if interested. |
Gil | | 29-Jan-2006 21:12 | Where is rosebud now when we need her ? We are looking for the cruising version of the Liberty 28....any ideas ? |
Brice and Shannon Sumner | | 28-Jun-2005 15:13 | She is a great boat -- strong, beautiful and safe. We enjoyed her for over five years, during which time we also took her to the Bahamas. |
Guest | | 03-May-2005 19:31 | Beautiful boat! She looks tough as well. I sail an old Coronado 27 on the Columbia River . Dan Dunn |

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
