Built by Pearson Yachts during the era when the yard was establishing itself as a premier fiberglass boatbuilder, this Rhodes-designed yawl represents classic American cruising tradition. Philip Rhodes, one of the most respected naval architects of the mid-20th century, created a design that emphasizes seaworthiness and comfortable passage-making over pure speed. The yawl rig configuration provides excellent balance and sail handling flexibility, making this boat particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and light offshore work. The mizzen sail offers additional options for heavy weather sailing and helps maintain control during anchoring or maneuvering in tight quarters. Rhodes' reputation for creating boats with gentle, predictable handling characteristics shines through in this design. Pearson's solid fiberglass construction methods from this period earned the builder a strong reputation for durability and longevity. These boats typically feature traditional accommodations layouts that prioritize comfort during extended cruising. The combination of Rhodes' proven design philosophy and Pearson's quality construction created a yacht that appeals to sailors seeking a classic cruising experience with the reliability of modern materials and construction techniques.
