1967 73 ft Long Range Ocean Crossing Trawler boat for sale

An outstanding 1967 73’Custom-Built Long-Distance, Ocean Crossing, Flush Deck Cruiser, well known as a “little ship”, is now on the market!

Pioneer was built in 1966-67 in Chula Vista, CA as a customized offshore yacht to meet the highest industrial and military standards of that time. The design was developed by GEORGE MOORE, a naval architect from SanDiego who spent time with the world class Kettenburg Company. The significant results from George’s design was an advanced build that focused on luxurious comfort, seaworthiness, stream lined beauty and a large hull designed extremely strong  meeting operating economy while gliding through the water. She is a one-of-a-kind and built to order. Some say unusually overbuilt for the early days of long distant cruising boats and too expensive to be built in todays competitive market. It begins with a fiberglass hull that is 6″ thick, 70’ WL (73’ LOA), 20 1/2’ beam, 6 1/2’ draft, full displacement that comes in at 91 net tons/130 gross tons. Her interior configuration has been designed to comfortably accommodate up to 6 people in 3 staterooms including a full-beam master suite on the lower deck aft. Her elegant choices of wood throughout the vessel, create a warm cozy living space. The mechanics of the design were chosen to perfectly match the heavy-duty hull with redundancies everywhere.

Over her very active history Pioneer has completed many ocean passages, including dozens of long distance non-stop coastal passages (e.g. non-stop from Southern California to Hawaii, Mexico and now cruising the coastal waters of British Columbia up to Alaska

Pioneer has had 4 owners and was based in Southern California and Hawaii during her first 33 years. For the last 19 years Pioneer has been based in the PNW with annual trips north to and as far as Alaska.

Pioneer had a full time captain for 27+ years working for the 1st and 3rd owners The current owners have operated the vessel without crew since purchasing the boat, often spending weeks at anchor in extreme comfort while living onboard before going in for supplies.

Some notable events regarding Pioneer, while in Hawaii, she has been in a few movies with Harrison Ford and also Robert Wagner. A gorgeous well built yacht is now waiting for the next adventure.

The hull has been treated for osmosis,which involved removal of the keel,all gel coat from waterline to keel level removed and replaced followed by two coats of primer and nine coats of epoxy.The keel was then replaced and glassed in. The hull has had additional stiffening added and has a set of beaching legs available allowing her to take the ground easily. The vessel has been stored ashore for three years and would benefit from a make over by an enthusiastic owner.

30 Ft Sailing Yacht - Pionier 9 By Van De Stadt

Engine Make: Yanmar

Van de Stadt Pioneer 9, Bermudan sloop rigged yacht designed by the legendary fast boat designer Van-de-stadt and built in GRP layup.The Pionier 9 was designed for the Fastnet race and in fact won its class for several years. They were described by the press at the time as "wind driven torpedoes". Built in the early days of GRP, she has a reassuringly thick hull to push through waves whilst allowing for flex. Although low to the water, she is surprisingly dry and comfortable with the spray hood up.Double berth forwardSingle in saloonSingle pilot berthMarine headsGas double hob with grill underneathStainless steel sink with hand pump cold water systemCaravel is a very fast boat ready for a loving owner. She is useable as she is as a day cruiser and has had her mast, boom, standing and running rigging, and her windows replaced within the last 10 years, and the engine is currently in the engineers workshop having had a rebuild.

It will be reinstalled for purchase.She needs some love to bring her back to her prime. To give you an idea of jobs that would bring her back:New electronics (VHF, chartplotter, wind instruments, and depth sounder)Fit electric bilge pumpReupholster (the 1970's brown is not to everyone's taste!!)Deck paintHull paintSand and varnish interior woodwork (or paint nice and bright)Sand and oil external woodworkPossibly a Solar panel to keep batteries topped upNew gib (there is one included)Fit a saloon tableNew tricolour required and probably some bulbs in nav lights Items done/replaced in the last 10 years:Whale manual bilge pump replacedWater tank cut out and replaced with a flexible tank with deck filling point fittedMast, Boom, standing rigging, running rigging, roller reefing (Harken) replacedWindows replacedEngine rebuilt and awaiting refitting (will be done for sale)New batteries (Engine 2017, domestic 2016) As far as bits and pieces on board go, there is a locker full off boat stuff including mooring strops for swinging mooring, fenders, warps, spare diesel, bosuns chair. She has a good mainsail. The roller furling gib is an old hanked on sail that has had a wire run up to use on the furling, it works fine but does not have a sacrificial strip.The spray hood is good. To sum up - she represents great value for a very fast "go anywhere" cruiser that with a bit of work will make a great boat.Feel free to send any questions or let me know if you want to come and have a look.On 19-Jun-18 at 16:03:55 BST, seller added the following information: She is currently ashore.

Her normal mooring is available for you to take on if required. Its a great mooring in Plymouth close to the Sound on the River Plym. Her fees for this year are paid, but there would be a club joining fee to pay (circa £250 from memory). The annual fee for the mooring is circa £300 and is available from end of March to End of November.

Broker's Comments

This Van de Stadt designed yacht is a capable ocean going cruiser. The hull above the waterline has recently been refurbished and looks great. The interior could do with a bit of tlc but thats about all - it is in commission and ready to use. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This boat is a project but a feasible one! The Van de Stadt Pioneer is from a well respected design and is a very capable Ocean goer. A previous owner has removed the engine so a new\recon engine will be a requirement. A chance to own a 30ft Van de Stadt sailing craft with a sound hull.

Broker's Comments

The Pioneer 9 designed by Van de Stadt is a capable ocean going cruiser, many have travelled the oceans since they were first built in the 60's. This boat looks great the hull above the waterline has just been refurbished and looks pristine. The owner planned to keep this boat for a long time but has reluctantly got to sell as he is moving abroad. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
