Many of you will remember Piotaskipper from TOP. We met him at Fort Augustus last year where he told us that he planned to swallow the anchor and sell Piota. She is a Van de Stadt designed Pionier 10. I was privileged to have a look round this remarkable vessel, which Keith has cruised extensively in Scotland and the Baltic and as far as 70 deg N on the Norwegian coast.
Keith asked me then if I would create a website to show Piota off when the time came, and the site is now complete. Click the picture to have a look. This is a chance for someone to acquire a seriously capable boat at a very good price.

There's something odd - if I try to open the pictures down the rhs they only partially open at the bottom of the page - same for all of them. Firefox 3.6.13 if it matters.

Piota seems to be a cracking boat - and surely is a good buy at the price asked. Hope that she finds a good home soon.Picture Gallery - I would have liked a 'slide show' facility or a 'click to advance to next picture' button.Video - I found it struggled to load up direct from the site but was OK on Youtube.

The Picture Gallery is meant to have all those features - wrong javascripts uploaded to the wrong folder again
- please have another look.
Re. the video - it is only embedded on the site - so it is playing from YouTube in either case.

You've done a good website there Nick. Looks like a really nice boat, well suited for these climes. I always enjoyed Piotaskipper's posts, and sorry he's decided to call it a day.

Excellent website, and excellent looking boat. Heart goes out to Piotaskipper who semms to be swallowing the anchor, I'm sure it was a very hard decision.

Well - the number of times you've been threatening to sell Glenys Rosehip, you must know how it feels.
