1986 Pearson 28-2 in nice condition overall. The current owner has made numerous improvements during his ownership and is now ready to move up.
Built by Pearson Yachts and designed by Bill Shaw this is a refinement on earlier designs. It is a nice 1st “large boat” and has many desirable features for cruising or club racing.
Topsides there is a large cockpit and generously sized decks for comfort moving forward. The boat is set up with halyards led to the cockpit, an easily accessible traveler, and self-tailing primary winches which would make single or shorthanded sailing very easy on this boat.
Wheel steering is situated in the “T” shaped cockpit and the binnacle features a compass, drink holder, and a large B&G display with a plotter. There are also bulkhead mounted instruments and a Raymarine Autopilot.
The seller reports that the running rigging and standing rigging have been replaced in the last 2 seasons. There is also a newer furling headsail and a newer mainsail.
Below is a spacious cabin with a large, open vee, long settees to port and starboard, and a full galley to port. There is a fully enclosed head with a porta-potty and shower aft to starboard and an aft cabin to port. There are numerous opening ports and overhead hatches providing good ventilation.
I was aboard recently to photograph the vessel and welcome calls with questions or to discuss how to make this boat yours.
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)
Shoal draft: 3.50’ / 1.07m
Disp.: 7350 lbs./3334 kgs
Not to be confused with an earlier PEARSON 28, also by Shaw, and discontinued in 1982.
