1978 Pearson 365 Ketch

1978 Pearson 365 Ketch. Hauled last August for bottom job and general maintenance. Vessel is in great condition and is ready for new owners to choose bottom coatings and interior fabrics.

I am located 23 hours away from boat, which is the only reason I am willing to sell. If circumstances changed so I could be local, I would never get rid of this boat. It is iconic, has great lines, and is in great condition with a ton of life left in it.

All photos are current, taken at time of listing. Exception is the photo with the masts still stepped, which was taken at time of haul out last August.

Equipment: Recently replaced sails… they still have that new crisp feel to them and just came back from the loft for minor stitching repairs. Furling head, main with reef points, and mizzen. Sails are being stored at the marina office while performing other work on boat. All repair work has been paid for and sails can be picked up at any time during marina store hours.

Rusted steel mast step has been removed and is at local welding shop being reproduced using half inch aluminum plate, rolled to same shape as mast cross section. Aluminum is the preferred choice, since mast is same material, so this reduces corrosion. 5 inches were removed from bottom of mast, and height of step is being increased accordingly so all rigging remains the same and mast will no longer be subject to bilge water.

Hull was sanded down to bare fiberglass, faired with two liters of Interlux Watertite epoxy filler and sanded smooth as glass. Two gallons Pettit Total Protect ready to be applied. Hull is rock solid with no issues. All under water thru hulls and seacocks were removed so that barrier coat can be properly applied. While almost all of these fittings can be serviced and reinstalled, I would recommend replacing simply for peace of mind.

Powered by 40HP Westerbeke diesel and Walter V drive. Both fully operational. Racor fuel filter. Heat exchanger feeds the Force10 6 Gallon Water Heater which also has electric heat.

A couple, working together on this, could have the boat back in the water and sailing in a few weeks. I have priced the boat fairly based on actual condition and minimal work left to be done.
