Presenting a magnificent off-shore vessel ordered by Mr. William Weinberg in the early 1960s and meticulously crafted by George Moore. This exceptional yacht boasts unparalleled craftsmanship and luxury that defined an era. She was built to easily cruise across from California to Hawaii, because of Mr. Weinburg's business dealings in both areas. But she has seen many other adventures over time. She has been chosen many times as the yacht leading the Del Rey Yacht Club's prestigious Regatta to Acapulco. Has taken students out on discovery trips to remote southern islands. In movies with Harrison Ford and in the series Hart-to-Hart. Now located in the Pacific Northwest exploring the breathtaking coastlines of Canada and up to Alaska. This vessel embodies a legacy of adventure and elegance. The Naval Architect – GEORGE W. MOORE – was given this project in the 60s and "PIONEER" became a reality. George W. Moore’s background comes from being part of reestablishing the Royal British Naval fleet after WWII. His extensive knowledge of how to build a ship, not a boat, was very important to Mr. Weinberg. This vessel was built for the purpose of crossing oceans, and it was a must to have an exceptional long range. But the living space was not to be neglected and had to have a particular style according to Mr. Weinberg’s tastes. Finalizing a build location and sourcing out the best equipment and materials was figured out and the Kettenburg yard was it. During 1964 to 1967 they created this masterpiece. "PIONEER” was launched from San Diego. "PIONEER" has left her mark where ever she has landed. Many trips back and forth to Hawaii. This vessel has history and an amazing story. The beautiful interior with gorgeous teak, dark walnut and mahogany throughout, made every trip very comfortable. The exterior deck creates a fabulous spot to dine out and enjoy. The engine room is so well designed that little has changed there. Engine rebuilds took place in 2012. Tank cleaning in 2022. Hull maintenance over the years is minimal. The 6" hull design is fiberglassed in a very special way. Remember Mr. Moore built war ships. The 6" hull is multiple layers, inside and outside of Woven Roving with "Hetron 92" polyester flame retarded resin fiberglass. Then in between this is filled with Flyash up to 3' from bottom and then a Micro Ballon dense resin is poured into voids. Nothing is going to make a dent in that hull. The whole bottom contains 12 fuel tanks holding 4,000 gallons of diesel. You bring along your own Esso station.....Hit the ignition and off she glides along, so smooth and quietly. "PIONEER" is a gem and there is nothing like her. "PIONEER" is currently for sale and has been reduced again to make this affordable for you. If you are looking for that special yacht, give me a call.
