Pearson 323

Built by Pearson

A 32 ft 3 in masthead sloop designed by William Shaw, built from 1976 to 1983. She carries 10 ft beam, 4 ft 6 in draft and 12,800 lb displacement. Hull form is fin with rudder on skeg.

Pearson Yachts of Rhode Island were among the first to build sailboats in fiberglass, starting with the Triton in 1959. The company closed in 1991, so every Pearson is now a restoration candidate, and most are well worth restoring. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
