The Pearson 36-2 has maintained her popularity over the years for size and accommodations. Pearson has always had a reputation for above-average production boat with good sailing characteristics, and a great value. “Free To Be” has been well maintained over the years. The Pearson 36-2 is a spacious performance cruiser with beautiful lines and great handling characteristics. Her is PHRF rating is 138. With her shoal draft keel (the centerboard has been removed) will provide good performance in varying wind and sea conditions. Bill Shaw designed this vessel with a combination of features that meets the needs of both the Captain and the crew. Forward and aft are private staterooms with 6?6? long and proportionally wide berths. The two staterooms are separated by the main salon that can seat six while not impeding access to the forward cabin. Throughout the boat you will find numerous out of sight stowage compartments for clothing, equipment, provisions and bedding. The galley is integrated into the interior accommodations and keeps the chef involved in the crew. The aft head is situated so not to disturb those who may have turned in for the night. The engine can be accessed on three sides, making maintenance a joy. Her cockpit is a spacious 7’ 6 in length, is uncluttered and comfortable with curved seating surfaces. If you are in the market for an affordable, solid, and proven performance cruiser. “Free To Be” is located in Oriental, NC. Call Scott Pickard at 252-249-7245 to make an appointment to see this great 1985 Pearson 36-2.

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)
