PIA Yacht for Sale

A Unique Opportunity: Acquire the Historic Sonderklasse Racing Yacht PIA – S 116

PIA is an exceptional piece of sailing heritage.

She was the last Sonderklasse ever built according to the original class rules and the only one ever constructed in Austria . Introduced in 1899 under the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II, the Sonderklasse is considered the first true class built according to a formula in sailing history. Its performance remains remarkable to this day: only about 1,850 kg of displacement paired with an impressive 51 m² of sail area – a ratio that delivers breathtaking speed and agility . Thanks to this outstanding combination of length, weight, and sail area, PIA is perfectly suited for prestigious regattas such as Monaco Classic Week, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, Régates Royales in Cannes or the ‘Münchner Woche’.

Built in 1922 by the Österreichische Schiffswerft AG in Gmunden, following the design of Ing. Otto Katzinger, PIA features a mahogany hull, teak deck, and a Bergner spruce mast renewed in 2015. Extensive refits in 1994 and 2018/19 ensure her excellent overall condition.
