Seller's Description

Perhaps one of the most spacious 27 footers ever built, the Pearson 27 offers all of the comfort and amenities that you would find on much larger boats. This very popular model offers 6 ft of standing headroom, wheel steering, inboard diesel, pressurized water, dinette table, very large icebox, a full galley and sleeping accommodations for four (the V-berth is over 7 feet long). This particular Pearson 27 is one of the absolute cleanest you will find with many enhancements you won’t find on other Pearson 27s. She is immaculate and has been very well taken care of and marina serviced.

This boat has been meticulously taken care of. Below is a list of improvements and enhancements made over the past eight years. A couple of things that will make this boat standout beyond the enhancements noted below is the fact that the hull and deck (excluding nonskid areas) are waxed every year so there is no fiberglass oxidation, the interior has no signs of mold and mildew in the interior lining, and the rudder is silent when at anchor/mooring due to custom rudder gudeons designed and made by Rudder Craft with high grade plastic bushings. The boat also has all exterior teak replaced with Plasteak which looks like teak, requires no maintenance, and makes the boat look like new (many people who approach the boat are surprised to hear its age). The boat comes with a Faiclough winter cover and frame so no need for shrink wrap. This boat does not need any additional investment – the work has already been done and it is ready for cruising and fun.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.3 kn
Classic: 6.36 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

7.25 knots
Classic formula: 6.36 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.5
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.
16.45
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
37.5
<40: less stiff, less 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

37.51
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
227.1
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
227.13
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
19.5
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
19.47
<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
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.05
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
