About this Sailboat:
This Pearson 31 is like two boats in one great for cruising or racing. Beneath the surface of the water shes hydrodynamically contemporary revealing, for its time, the latest design innovations. Inside she is a roomy (6 headroom), beautifully built yacht with typical Pearson attention to quality. This nimble sloop is simple to sail, fun to overnight and easy to maintain which ensures that you can quickly learn and become expert with her sailing yet never tire of her smooth performance, jaunty but comfortable heel, easy docking and timeless design. Yes, she sails beautifully but thats only half of the fun. A main salon is what makes arriving at a distant anchorage worthwhile. The pleasure of sailing hasnt taken precedence over the joy of the arrival and a comfortable, peaceful anchorage visit. The L-shaped galley will please any on-board chef. The athwartship head features pullout vanity, a new toilet, shower, privacy doors, hanging locker and stowage alcoves. This boat has a water heater and an electric pump meaning that all the faucets and the shower work much like the ones in your home. Gear stowage above and below the settee berths, a V-filler makes into a seat, and a privacy door all make the forward cabin very comfortable. The Atomic 4 engine runs like a top. It has new plugs, plug wires, points, rotor, distributor cap, coil, starter solenoid, choke cable, transmission cable, throttle cable, and the fuel tank has been refurbished and a new fuel gauge installed. The water pump has been completely rebuilt. In other words, the engine is ready to go with no outstanding issues. And, all of the top side teak has been carefully stripped, sanded, and finished with five coats of high UV protection marine spar varnish to like new condition. This boat is ready for you to enjoy and sail away today.
