1984 Pearson 34

Very nice Pearson 34 shoal draft model, sloop rigged sailboat. I bought this boat for it’s quality construction & sailing abilities, and was not disappointed one bit in my years of sailing her. The centerboard nests in the modified fixed keel, for a shoal draft of 3’10”. Heading to weather the centerboard drops to 7’ draft & points extremely well. This configuration works well for deeper beaches, where I have dropped a stern anchor, and put the bow right in the sand.

The previous owner was a meticulous, and addressed routine maintenance, as well as having keel bolts re-torqued, and bottom side fully inspected prior to my purchase 7 years ago. Under my watch, it was hauled again for minor professional hull repair on the transom (ding at the dock), at which point I replaced the 2-blade prop with a new fixed 3-blade prop which made an already good auxiliary diesel power system run perfectly balanced. At that point I had packing gland & shaft inspected. This boat is in “sail-away” condition. All three batteries are less than a year old, engine oil & fresh water cooling impeller are replaced annually with very low hours, boat is heated in winter to prevent occasional freeze problems & moisture build-up. I’ve had groups of 8-10 for day sails, and 6 out for the weekend comfortably. Includes spares, life jackets, galley utensils, plates, pots, etc. There’s even a Zodiac 8’ PVC dinghy with an as-new 4HP Yamaha 4-stroke outboard that could be included with the right offer. This great boat is priced to sell.
