Seller's Description

It is with a heavy heart that I have to face the facts that my beloved Pequod have to part ways. She is not the prettiest Pearson 30, but she is rock solid. When they first started making them, Pearson over engineered the P30. She needs the TLC and cosmetics finished I have no time to get to. Not uncomfortable by a long shot. But I also have friends with newer P30s that show me cushions and new cubby wood can make it beautiful. Not expensive, but time consuming. And TIME is something I don’t have.

My Father, stone cold stubborn ex Marine, has come down with Temporal lob Dementia. It doesn’t take ones memories or awareness, it doesn’t make you forget how to keep yourself fed and clothed. rather ability to reason, speak what is on your mind, and thus puts him at risk to be alone in the world. Needless to say, keeping him out of a home has become a full time job, along with my full time job. I don’t have time for the improvements and the sailing I have enjoyed for the past decade. 7 of them years with Pequod. All of her life spent on Lake Erie. Currently located in Lorain, Ohio just west of Cleveland.$5,500 is negotiable. If you want to pay the $445 membership fee and want the dock for 2020, I will throw that in.

She has not been idle and not been uncared for. She can be the fastest boat in a fleet if you can get the crew to stop the drinking belly aching. If you are on Facebook search “sailing with Dwight” and see more.

VC 17 paints her bottom every season. We stripped her and put a barrier coat 7 years ago. Other than that, she comes with everything you would expect from a Person 30.

Equipment: 3 yr old Sabstad Main, 2 yr old 155.Drifter Reacher, 3 folding piece whisker pole, older main and head sails.

last year 2 ST Lewmar winches. Fully working head.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.7 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

7.53 knots
Classic formula: 6.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.3
16-20: good performance

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.
17.34
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.8
>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

42.79
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
237.7
200-275: 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
237.72
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.0
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
24.03
<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
1.9
<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
1.88
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

In production for nearly 10 years, with more than 1000 built, this was one of Pearson’s most successful models. The designer, Bill Shaw, owned a Pearson 30 for a number of years.
Early models had Palmer inboards.
