1989 Pearson 37-2
CLIMATE 18,000 BTUs total AC capacity at the dock, split between 2 units.
The larger Mermaid unit was overhauled in 2022. Its a 12k BTU AC / Heater under the saloon settee, with a new thermostat and all new water lines & fittings. The secondary Mermaid unit is a 6k BTU AC / Heater model underneath the V-berth. Most of the water lines to it as well are new, and have added its own in-line filter.
For underway heating, theres a hydronic diesel-burning system with 3 independent thermostats, one each in the head, V-berth, and in the salon near the Nav station. Itll bring the boat up to 75F from 40F in about 15 minutes by itself. It uses about 0.3 gallons per hour depending on the thermostat settings, and cycles automatically to maintain those. Its run through the water heater as well.
INTERIOR The refrigerator is a 12V unit that will run for days off of battery power alone.
Theres a brand-new TV and a DVD player. 2-burner electric stovetop, lots of cabinets & storage, and a set of Magma pots & pans that will go with her in the sale. Theres also a brand-new Magma grill on the aft cockpit railing.
The V berth is a custom pillow top mattress, basically queen sized and about 9-10 inches deep. Its extremely comfortable. The saloon settee has a pullout shelf and extra cushion that make another approximately queen sized bed.
Electric head, a 25-gal holding tank, and a separate shower with new plumbing and valves last year. 100 gal freshwater tank capacity. The gear and attachments to add a municipal water inlet are onboard, just not installed.
Theres a transom shower that was removed from the cockpit and left in the cockpit cubby. New gear to restore it to use is onboard.
Price negotiable.
Equipment: MECHANICAL 30HP Yanmar diesel Model #3HM35F turning a 3-blade propeller, theres a lot of power & torque with good response to the throttle.
Engine hours are unknown, but it runs nicely and the oil & coolant (with 3 flushes) were changed recently. The fuel filters were replaced at the same time. The factory generator was removed by a previous owner.
The bilge pumps and their hoses are new, and theres a programmable timer controlled dry-bilge system that currently runs 2 minutes a day.
ELECTRICAL An aftermarket Balmar alternator that recharges the house bank quickly, a Heart Freedom 20 Inverter/Charger, a separate battery charger thats still installed, and a Xantrex Link 10 Battery monitor. 6 golf-cart style batteries compromise the house bank, with a separate starter battery that is under 1 year old. The original battery bank rating was 600AH.
SAILS & GEAR The original mainsail failed last season, and has not yet been replaced. We have a 130% Genoa on the furler currently with the self-tacking jib in its sailbag. Both are in good shape.
A set of dinghy davits and a cargo hoist are included, both of which still have the mounting hardware attached at the stern. Theres also a set of custom (outdoor material) cockpit seat cushions, in addition to a set of full boat covers and assorted fenders, spare lines and emergency signal gear.
The instruments are original Autohelm mounted to the wheel pedestal. There is an uninstalled autopilot servo.
Oversized Rocna-style anchor on heavy rope rode, and the windlass electricals were completely replaced last year.
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)
