Remarks :
Listed by Phil Jones of Network Yacht Brokers. This is a great cruiser with a glowing history. She is laid up ashore during the winter months. Survey carried out in 2006, Yachting Monthly review carried out in 1972 gives a full report on the Pioneer 10. Her sister boat won the Fastnet Race in 1971 and again in 1973 (Class 4). PRICED TO SELL
Owners Comments: The boat was built by Southern Ocean Shipyards and finished to a high standard by E G Van de Stadt. Previous owners have raced in the Clyde and cruised the Western Isles. During my ownership, I have upgraded the equipment and renewed the rigging. She has been cruised extensively in the Irish Sea and has been a pleasure to sail, in all weather conditions with a crew ranging from 2 - 5 people.

Accommodation
The generous beam gives her plenty of room down below deck. Two berths in the forecabin with stowage below. Further aft is the heads compartment which has a sliding basin and fresh water pump. The pump is arranged so that it ceases to function if there is less than 5 gallons of water in the tank. Lavac heads with separate wet locker opposite.

The saloon offers two settee berths with an additional berth if required can be found behind the navigation table. The saloon table is fixed with folding leaves, the cabin being wide enough to prevent it getting in the way.

The galley area is at the aft end of the cabin where there is adequate ventilation through the main entrance hatch.
2 Burner gas stove, stainless sink, fixed coolbox.
