This Pearson 30 is an affordable, timeless, simple, and beautiful yacht. The Pearson 30 has long been a favorite for people who want to cruise in style without a lot of maintenance. She is bright, fast, simple, and very spacious.
Layout:
Forward is a V berth with room for two people over six feet.
Just aft of the V berth is the head. There is a marine toilet that is plumbed to a 20 gallon bladder, as well a hand pumped sink.
The main salon is bright and spacious. Recent blue cushions throughout the boat add to the clean, simple look and feel of this boat. A table drops down to create dining service for up to six.
The port bench pulls out to create a double berth. There is a pilot berth aft on the port side as well.
The galley is simple and functional. It includes an Origo Alcohol two burner stove, a large cooler, and plenty of storage.
The cockpit is huge, with plenty of room for six. She has tiller steering. The tiller is in great shape. There are cushions for the cockpit. They are older, but in very good shape.
All of her wood trim is in great shape, but could use a sanding and a nice finish.
Hull/Decks:
Her topsides look fantastic as do her decks. She has very little crazing on deck. Her hull to deck joint shows no signs of stress.
Sails & Rigging:
Sails:
Main: it is an older sail, but in good shape.
Genoa: hank on, appears to be newer than main, and in very good shape
Jib: Hank on and also in very good shape.
Blue sail cover, also in very good shape.
Mast: Her deck- stepped mast is in great shape.
Standing rigging: All standing rigging is in great working order. Her chain plaits looks good, well bedded and show no sign of water leakage.
All winches are in great working order, and are well lubricated.
Running rigging: Her running rigging is in good to great shape- including halyards, sheets, blocks etc.
Stanchions: All stanchions are solid, and well bedded
Engine:
She has a well maintained Atomic four engine. The Atomic Four has a well deserved reputation for being a great, long lasting, reliable, and quiet engine. We started, ran, and engaged the engine. It started right up, ran beautifully, and went into gear perfectly.
Electrical/Electronics:
She has a very simple two battery system running all lights, electrics, etc. batteries are charged by the Engine alternator, and there is an isolator switch.
Equipment:
Standard Horizon VHF radio
Datamarine Depth sounder
Kenyon Speedo
Two Saturn compasses
A few extras:
Two Danforth anchors
Fire extinguishers
Life jackets
Throwable pfd
Extra lines and fenders
Winch handles
Swim ladder
Ensign and staff
Projects/Issues:
Take her for a sail. She is ready to go. She has been cleaned throughout, and her exterior wood trim has been sanded and coated. She is a sailaway boat!
