Seller's Description
1971 Pearson P30 sailboat with trailer, freshwater only, we used it for day sailing and Overnights on weekends, its an old boat, its not perfect, has a lot of good days left in her. Boat was redone around 2014 ,custom oak interior,new front hatch with retractable bug screen, all storage areas were painted. very clean inside. boat was converted to an outboard with controls. 2013 9.9 Yamaha high thrust 25 inch shaft, electric start low hours. Pushes boat 6 1/2 -7 knots. Even in a good blow. Outboard has pushbutton electric steering. Great for getting in and out of the boat slip at the marina. Original inboard was removed & 2-8 foot kayaks are stored in this area which are included. All new 12 V and 120 V wiring. New switch panels and breaker box. New LED lighting. Smart TV in main area, 12 V drop-down DVD player in V birth, Original head and holding tanks have been removed. We used a Porta potty. Galley sink is plumbed to marina hook up only. Future owner can install freshwater tank and new head if they would like. Rocna anchor with all chain rode. Furlex roller furling. Rigging in good condition. Main sail and jib are in good condition, theyve had a few repairs done to them but still have a lot of good sailing days left. Custom winter storage cover. New tires,wiring and paint on trailer in 2014. Currently being stored on the hard at Washburn Marina, Washburn WI. Going to remove the winter cover soon. It has not been in the water for two summers. Bottom needs to be repainted, it has your typical gelcoat cracks otherwise bottom of hull is in good shape. Rudder is solid. No bushing problems. Sailboat and trailer are licensed in Minnesota. We really love the boat. Had it at the marina for years, great memories. We have another boat in a different location and dont have time to sail them both. Looking for a good home for her. priced to sell. $6800 reasonable offers considered. No trades cash only. Boat can be shown by appointment only.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.7 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.3
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
42.8
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
237.7
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
24.0
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
In production for nearly 10 years, with more than 1000 built, this was one of Pearson’s most successful models. The designer, Bill Shaw, owned a Pearson 30 for a number of years.
Early models had Palmer inboards.
