Description

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this 1964 E.G. Van de Stadt Pioneer 9 Masthead Sloop The Pioneer 9 is a robust, seaworthy classic yacht designed for serious cruising and blue-water sailing, often praised for its solid build quality, stability in rough seas, and manageable sailing characteristics. While it offers a secure and dry cockpit, its interior may feel cramped compared to modern yachts, lacking large living spaces but featuring practical elements like a large heads and a handy wet locker. Reviews highlight its strength, good performance for its size, and ability to handle heavy weather, making it a reliable choice for offshore voyages despite its age. The Dutch 9.10m Pionier 9 – often spelt Pioneer 9 in English – was designed by van de Stadt and the first production GRP yacht in Europe. More than 600 were built after the first was launched in 1959. UK versions were moulded by Tylers and finished by Southern Ocean Shipyard in Poole. The capabilities of the Pionier 9 were proven beyond doubt 12 years after it was first launched, when Nicolette Milnes-Walker became the first woman to sail single-handed across the North Atlantic, completing the voyage from Pembrokeshire, Wales, to Newport, Rhode Island in 45 days. This example has sailed cross channel to Guernsey, Sark and Jersey. To St Malo and along the Coast.
