A boat is only as good as her owner. This 1987 Pearson 33-2 is a beautifully maintained performance cruiser in sail away condition, she’s located in Dinner Key, Coconut Grove Miami. Mooring Ball may be transferrable.

Pearson sailboats are known for their superior build quality and durability. They can handle a stiff breeze but are still responsive in light air. We’ve taken her through the keys and back, across Long Island Sound, and into Coastal Atlantic.
We bought the boat from the second owner, who used her almost exclusively for club racing in Long Island Sound and some minor weekend cruising.
The boat was always well maintained and hauled out every winter until moving down to Florida.
Since purchasing her, we’ve made improvements and major refits; these upgrades have made SV Livewire an excellent pocket cruiser, and she’s ready to explore the keys and beyond. I am sad to see her go, but our family is growing, and the boat has become too small for us.
We’ve kept a detailed log and complete maintenance history, including past and scheduled projects and upgrades.

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)
