1989 Pearson 39-2 CB. To quote a friend on this boat, No expense spared on that boat! Maintained maintained and then maintained. Pearson 39-2 are know for having a wet deck along the toe rial. This problem was repaired in 2014 with new coring and properly sealed so it will not occur again. The entire deck was repainted and new nonskid. Exterior teak varnished with Al-brite, gets recoated yearly & is in excellent condition. All hardware that looked worn at the time was replace. New stanchions, deck blocks, fill ports for water, diesel & waste. All lines led aft with 8 additional cabin top clutches added, and 3 additional lewmar 40ST winches. New standing rigging & Harken Furler in 2022. All new Raymarine instrumentation installed 2021. The boat is set up for single handed sailing. This is a great cruising boat for a couple and has been maintained to the highest standards. The boat is currently shrink wrapped for the winter & is available for access.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
