A well kept freshwater boat. A very solid and good sailing boat with a fin keel and spade rudder. Rudder bearings rebuilt. Dry bilge. Comfortable cabin and v-berth. Galley table converts to a double bunk. Cockpit is comfortable and self bailing. Solidly constructed, handles well when the wind pipes up and user-friendly. 2200 pound iron keel makes her fairly stiff. Will rename the boat to your name choice. Mast height 35 feet above DWL. Built-in motor well and fuel tank storage.Trailer included.
Reason for sale: I have owned sailboats for over 30 years. We had a Hunter 38 in the Bahamas we sailed in the winter(until Hurricane Dorian took her last August) and had this Pearson at our home to sail on Lake Michigan. She has been a good boat for us but we recently bought a larger boat to sail Lake Michigan more extensively since we lost our 38 in the Bahamas.
Equipment: Roller furling jib, vhf radio, depth finder, very dependable 9 horsepower Nissan electric start long shaft outboard with battery charging, new Jabsco marine head, easy to start alcohol two burner stove, anchor and rode, life vests, yellow horseshoe life ring, manual bilge pump, trailer for storage, fenders and dock lines.
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)
The PEARSON 26 was one of the company’s most successful models. A number of changes were made during a very long production run.
The PEARSON 26 WEEKENDER (or PEARSON 26W) has a longer cockpit and shorter coach roof.
With a few very rare exceptions, all PERSON 26’s have outboard wells and rely on an outboard motor for auxiliary power.
Some boats were built at League City, TX (USA).
