1968 Pearson Coaster

30' Pearson Coaster sailboat built in 1968. Boat is balanced under sail, tracks well due to its modified full keel and, unlike fin keel boats is not tender or squirrelly and is therefor a good candidate for off-shore and rough weather cruising. The keel has a fully encased lead ballast so there's no keel bolts to be concerned with. Boat weighs 9000lbs. and draws 4’7. Hull is thick, solid fiberglass with no core so will not rot. These early Pearsons have no history of blistering ever. Rigged for single hand cruising. Comes with original plan drawings.
Interior is nice, comfortable, simple, and recently re-varnished. Over K invested in the last 3 years of updating and refurbishing. This boat is ready for your cruising; just add supplies.
