Seller's Description
This Pearson 424 definitely needs some cosmetic love. The decks and exterior teak need to be painted, and there is some cosmetic stuff to address on the intieror. However, the good far outweighs the bad on this one. Check out the list of work done approximately 5yrs ago. All of which appears to be in like new condition.
Equipment: Everything below is thought to have been done 5 years ago. -2013Yanmar 4jh5E 54hp with nearly no hours on it. installed 5yrs ago. -Phasor Generator -New Sparcraft Mast and Boom with In mast mainsail Furler -Likely New Standing Rig 5yrs ago with new mast and boom -Profurl Headsail Furler -Mainsail is Likely never used -Jib is 7-8 out of 10 -Mizzen is Crisp -Spinnaker lightly used -Heavy Duty Davits -Dodger and Bimini useable -Interior Cushions need covers but foam is reuseable. -Solar Panels -All New Fresh Water Plumbing -All New Wiring -New AC and DC Distribution panel -2 New Webasto Marine Air Conditioners -6 New “New Found Metals” Opening Port Lights -Adler Barbour Refrigeration -LED lights throughout
So much of the difficult and expensive work has been done. This could be a great cruiser. Especially at this price. Sales on these boats are often in the $60-$70k range and higher for exceptional examples. Any reasonabler offer considered. thanks

Calculations

8.5 kn
Classic: 7.77 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
-
14.8
<16: under powered
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
-
34.5
<40: less stiff, less 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
-
257.5
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
-
30.6
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
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
The Pearson 424 (aft cockpit) and 422 (center cockpit) share the same hull and evolved from the 390 and 419. In addition to being one of the builders most successful models, it is highly thought of among serious blue water cruisers.
Available as a cutter or ketch with at least 2 different layouts.
Reverse mounted engine with Walter V-drive.
