1985 Pearson 28-2 LOA: 28’ 5” Draft: 5’ fin keel Beam: 9’ 10” Yanmar 2GM20F - 16hp diesel Freshwater tank: 25 gallons Fuel tank: 18 gallons Depthfinder Stereo with Bose speakers V-berth and aft quarterberth Head with marine head and holding tank Galley with hot and cold running water, original alcohol stove and butane stove The boat was hauled in August 2020 for an epoxy barrier coat and new bottom paint (I have the receipts for the work) Most running rigging replaced in 2020 and 2021 (main halyard, mainsheet, jib sheets, reefing line, topping lift, traveler and boom vang). New hand pump mechanism for the marine head in 2021 New stern perch seats for cockpit in 2022 New automatic bilge pump - August 2020 (bilge is almost always bone dry) New battery charger - August 2020 New batteries (2) - December 2022 Several new opening portlights, gaskets and screens - 2021 New butane stove - 2021 (I have the original alcohol stove too) New fuel/lift pump - 2021 Roller furling jib and mainsail in good condition
This boat is sailed regularly and needs nothing in order to sail tomorrow. I have owned the boat since 2020 and have done a number of upgrades. There a still a small number of to-do-list items which I will talk you through, but nothing at all that will keep you from sailing and enjoying this boat immediately. The boat is located at Sail & Ski Marina on Lake Travis where it has been for almost all of its life. The diesel engine has been regularly maintained and the marina has those records going back many years, and the engine runs great. Slip at Sail & Ski will convey with the boat. The marina is excellent, with shorepower and freshwater hoses at the slips, and a restaurant on-site.
I had this boat hauled and surveyed by a certified marine surveyor when I bought it in August 2020 and I will share the survey report with you.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

7.7 kn
Classic: 6.63 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
-
16.8
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
-
36.4
<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
-
213.1
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
-
19.9
<20: lightweight racing 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
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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
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.
