Went to look at this 1971
Pearson 35
http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/boa/2722889682.html and almost bought it until the admiral convinced me to loosen the purse strings and get a newer
boat.
This is a
Pearson 35 yawl that was repowered with a new
Yanmar and has a 10 sail inventory. The standing
rigging looked okay, she has
wood spreaders that may need a little love. None of the winches are ST, but she has roller reefing or the 150
Genoa. The CB is reported to
work fine. The
cabin did not smell like
mold, and showed that the PO cared about her.
I have no stake in this
boat, but for all those that are looking for a deal.....they should move on in! The only thing that dissuaded me was the age.
