27' Pearson 27

1988 Pearson 27 with dual axle trailer

Selling due to purchase of bigger boat. Clean, ready to launch, and currently on trailer. Easy to sail (and single hand) with roller furling, wheel steering, all lines led to cockpit, and shallow draft wing keel (3 feet 4 inches). Comfortable, open interior with 2 berths and 6 feet of standing headroom. Designed by highly regarded yacht designer Bill Shaw from Pearson Yachts and manufactured in Portsmouth, RI.

As far as I can see, this is currently the lowest priced Pearson 27 in the country, and one of the few on a road-ready trailer, making transportation and off season storage convenient and economical.
