This is a
classic Pearson yacht in exceptional condition now offered
for sale by its second owner of 13 years. Her
teak trim is pristine, maintained in excellent condition with partial Sunbrella covers, awnings and loving care. Her
hull sports original
gelcoat. All port lights and hatches have been replaced with premium
stainless steel ABI and
Bomar units. Her bow features include a Schaefer system 3000
furling system with a Macksail
genoa, dual anchors with washdown, and a powerful Simpson-Lawrence vertical drum
electric windlass.
Her battslide main sail easily stows in a totally enclosed lazy-jacks (a one-person operation). Her
cockpit is fully protected with
dodger and
bimini top. Shay features custom
dinghy davits and satellite-tv. Her
cockpit sports a beautiful folding
teak table and one-of-a-kind stained glass
companionway doors (generating many dockside compliments).
Her good looks are equaled by outstanding sailing performance. Shay was completely re-rigged with new chain plates, standing
rigging (Stalok), and a new
aluminum main
mast step. She
sails exceptionally well-balanced with both light crew and light air using her 150%
genoa and mizzen sail. Downwind runs are powered by a beautiful asymmetrical
spinnaker. In heavy
weather Shay is solid, balanced and stable utilizing her extra 80% genoa and mizzen.
Under
power she cruises at a quiet 1800
rpm, makes 7 knots, and uses about 1 gallon/hour. She can be steered by her
Autohelm ST-7000
linear drive autopilot linked to
windvane output or a notebook computer. Shay’s owner has complete
service records and receipts dating back to her launch in 1980. With 13 years experience, he has developed a forward
maintenance schedule designed to prevent problems.
She has had major mechanical refits to its
engine and running
gear, including a new
fuel tank and a RV-28 Walter V-drive. Multiple systems protect her operation, including large
Racor 500’s for clean
fuel, cockpit vacuum gauges, 5
bilge pumps with
emergency alarms, and electronic monitoring of both
engine and
generator raw water pumps. Below decks, all
thru hull seacocks and waterline
deck drains were replaced with top-quality
bronze units. She has an intruder
alarm that activates a mast-top strobe and loud siren. The owner has a garage full of spare
parts for most of her major systems.
Her owner has spared no expense for below
deck function and appeal. Her
cabin sole has been replaced with exquisite teak
flooring. New Ultra-suede upholstery and many custom features appoint the
cabin. The
galley sports a completely rebuilt super-insulated refrigerator/freezer, a whole
boat water filter system, and an additional .1 micron ultrapure
drinking water filter. A Village
Marine water maker adds 5 gal per hour to her 150 gallon fresh
water tanks.
The three cabins are cooled by a multiple outlet central a/c system driven by a 5 KW
Northern Lights diesel generator. A 2.5 kw
inverter provides quiet ac
power.
She is offered with her 2009 AB hard bottom
dinghy, a 15 hp 2-cycle Johnson
outboard, and a 4 hp self-contained Suzuki
outboard. She has multiple
safety items, including a 6-person Viking
offshore liferaft. She’s fully appointed and ready to
cruise. $89,500
The yacht is currently at her home port behind the owner’s home in Ft. Lauderdale,
