Boat Description
The Pion, more than 35 years ago designed for a match of the KNWV. It was looking for a seagoing race yacht that went along for longer than the then current yachts. Van de Stadt design company won with the Pion. Since then, a few hundred were built. After a while into oblivion, the Pawn has been back again since a few years.
The core of the success of the Pion is the fact that it is a very good sailing yacht (thanks to Ricus van de Stadt) and that it is a national unity class. Class unity is the key for competitive sailors who immediately want to see who won, without complicated, opaque and costly disability systems.
And it’s great to be touring with the Pion. Whether with the family, couple or alone. Moreover, the Pion is a more than proven seaworthy yacht. In rough weather behaves the Pion smooth and very reliable.
