With a reputation built over decades of reliable service, this classic American cruiser emerged from Pearson Yachts during an era when solid fiberglass construction and practical sailing characteristics defined successful production boats. The design reflects the company's commitment to creating seaworthy vessels that could handle both coastal cruising and longer passages with confidence. Known for its sturdy build quality and traditional sailing manners, this model appeals to sailors who value dependability over cutting-edge performance. The boat's moderate proportions and well-balanced sail plan make it forgiving for less experienced crews while still providing satisfying performance for seasoned sailors. Its spacious interior layout typically accommodates extended cruising with reasonable comfort, though amenities reflect the practical approach common to boats of its generation. Pearson's reputation for solid construction means many of these boats remain actively sailed today, testament to their durability and seaworthiness. While not designed for racing, the boat performs admirably in cruising conditions and has proven itself capable of offshore passages. For sailors seeking a traditional cruising boat with a proven track record, this model represents the reliable, no-nonsense approach that made Pearson a respected name in American boatbuilding.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
