Seller's Description
1965 Pearson Vanguard - 32.5 ft.
Designed by famous marine architect Philip Rhodes, the Vanguard is a classic cruiser known for world travel.
It combines graceful lines with bullet-proof construction.
The Vivian is hull #198 (1965) and although it is mostly original, it is in very good condition considering its age.
The hull and deck, thru-holes, keel,rudder and standing rigging are all sound.
New Stainless mast step and rewired mast by prior owner.
Atomic 4 upgraded to Universal M25 diesel with remote oil cooler/filter, new stainless shaft and dripless seal.
Parquet cabin floor and newer upholstery.
New toilet, hoses and holding tank in 2015.
Fab-All diesel bulkhead heater.Optional salon arrangement features large starboard galley with icebox, sink,and Force 10 propane range/oven.
Closed dish cupboard and pantry.
Dinette onport side seats 4, sleeps 2, and doubles as a great chart table.
Head and hanging locker located between salon and v-berth that sleeps 2.
Exterior cabin and brightwork recently refinished and new windows installed. 30amp shore power with 50amp battery charger, isolated 12Volttransformer, (6) 110volt outlets and (2) 12volt deep draw storage batteries.Instruments are older and could be upgraded.
Working Danforth compass, depthsounder, Loran fish finder, and VHF.
Knot meter needs new sender and is not working.
Boat passed 2017 Coast Guard Inspection and is currently registered.
Sails include reefable main, North Sails roller furling with 150 Genoa, 110,and storm jib.
Seldom used spinnaker with whisker pole.
The Vivian has sailed Puget sound and Hood canal, the San Juan and Gulf Islands, and the Strait of Georgia as far north as Desolation Sound.
It is currently being sailed, but age forces parting with the grand old girl.
Best Offer.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

6.0 kn
Classic: 6.33 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
15.9
<16: under powered
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
41.3
>40: stiffer, more 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
- Displacement/Length
-
412.3
>400: very heavy
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
32.1
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising 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
- Capsize Screening
-
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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
