1965 Pearson Vanguard 32

Listed
Expired
$34,000 USD

Seller's Description

Located in Brookings, Oregon, this 31-foot Pearson Vanguard is a great sailing sloop. Pearson Yachts was a manufacturer of fiberglass sailboats in service from 1958 until 1990. The company was founded by cousins Clinton and Everett.

Comes with a Universal M25 Diesel engine and 4 onboard batteries. Also has a recently-installed solid brass Acme 3 blade propeller…in case you need help getting home.

Lovingly refurbished Pearson Vanguard ready to be loved and lived in!

This 31.5 ft sloop has a hull depth of 6.5 ft. with solid ’60s fiberglass construction. Main and Genoa sails are stored indoors in a temperature-controlled environment.

Sleeps 5 easily. All updated dinette cushions with stylish, waterproof hand-sewn covers. New memory foam mattresses in berth and single sleeper bed.

Dry docked for maintenance, power wash and brand new exterior paint in June of 2021, as well as all brightwork hand scraped and oiled with teak and linseed.

The Interior is freshly painted with anti-microbial, Kilz brand primer and waterproof / scratch-proof vinyl flooring throughout. The updated bathroom includes a porta-potty with holding tank, making live aboard super convenient.

This Vanguard has lots of space for your family and friends and all your boating gear.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this good condition Pearson sloop sailboat!

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.0 kn
Classic: 6.33 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

6.0 knots
Classic formula: 6.33 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.9
<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.
15.88
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
41.3
>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

41.27
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
412.3
>350: ultraheavy

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
412.28
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
32.1
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
32.13
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.7
<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
1.7
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
