Production model

Pearson Triton

Built by Pearson

A 28 ft 4 in fractional sloop designed by Carl Alberg, built from 1958 to 1967. She carries 8 ft 3 in beam, 3 ft 11 in draft and 6,930 lb displacement. Hull form is long keel.

The boat that proved fiberglass could build a serious cruising yacht, and the first keelboat Pearson made. Carl Alberg drew her, several hundred were built, and a great many are still sailing and still being restored. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
