Description: Let me start off by saying I love this boat!  I’m parting ways is because I decided to enter into a partnership on another sailboat.  Over the three years owning Ragazza, I spent a good amount of time giving her the upgrades she deserved adding creature comforts to make her the perfect day sailor/overnighter.  Bill Shaw Designed the Pearson 26, A well-known boat builder who took great pride in designing his boats.  The Pearson 26 is a perfect example of his craftsmanship.  With her swept back keel and rudder she turns on a dime and has very little weather helm.  Ragazza is comfortable at all points of sail. She was fitted with inside jib blocks giving her even better pointing ability then her kin.  With almost 6000lbs of displacement she is a comfortable ride but still retains her speed.  We’ve had her humming along at 7knots many a time and her ample 8 Horse Honda, three blade prop pushes her up to the same speed while motoring. From 1970 to 1983 something like 2000 were built.  Ragazza has the benefit of being at the end of the production run receiving many of the improvements experience imparted upon its builders through its production run. There are great resources on the internet for owners one of which is Dan Pfeiffer's Pyxis website. Please email me for more photos.
