Piewiet 930 Buyer's Guide
The Piewiet 930 is a 31-foot Dutch masthead sloop from the board of Henk van der Rest and the works of Van der Rest Nautic B.V., dating to 1976. She is a solid-fiberglass cruiser-racer with a fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, and shaft-drive transmission — a straightforward boat to survey if you know where a 1970s production hull earns its keep.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Piewiet 930 carries six to eight berths in a teak interior, a layout suited to family cruising or a racing crew sleeping aboard. The solid-glass hull and moderate beam reflect a small Dutch cruiser-racer of the era rather than a volume-maximized coastal hull.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The 930's shaft-drive transmission is a simple assembly; boats may show owner-fitment of canvas or sail-handling gear, but the baseline rig runs jib and genoa sheets of 30.5 feet and a mainsheet of 76.3 feet, all 12 mm. A buyer should confirm running rigging condition rather than assume upgrades.
What to Inspect
The 930 is built of solid fiberglass with iron ballast and a shaft drive, so on a specific hull check the gelcoat and below-waterline glass for osmotic blistering. Confirm the iron ballast remains bonded and the keel bolts are free of weeping at the hull joint. With the shaft drive, inspect the stuffing box and shaft log for drip or staining, and verify coupling alignment by feel if the engine runs. Examine the teak interior for soft spots or blackening that signal long-term leaks, and give through-hulls a careful tug and look at their backing.
Buyer's Takeaway
- Inspect solid-glass hull and deck for osmotic blistering below the waterline
- Check iron ballast keel joint for weeping and bolt corrosion
- Verify shaft-drive stuffing box, shaft log, and coupling alignment
- Look over teak interior for leak-related softness or discoloration
- Test through-hull fittings and backing blocks for security
