Elegance, Performance, Comfort. Beautifully restored and maintained classic. The first Pearson 35 was built in 1968 and the model remained in production, nearly unchanged, until 1982. As a testament to its popularity, this 14-year production run was the longest of any Pearson model built, surpassing the venerable Pearson 30 by four years. In all, slightly more than 500 Pearson 35s were produced. Pearson’s in-house designer Bill Shaw designed the P35 as a cruiser/racer to replace the company’s somewhat dated Alberg 35 model. 

This vessel has been donated to a junior sailing foundation and proceeds from the sale are for the benefit of the kids learning the complexities and wonders of sailing.

 Vessel has been owned and upgraded by a deeply knowledgeable Pearson 35 enthusiast and racer whose upgrade investments are multiples of the current asking price.
