Pearson 23C

Pearson 23C is a 22 ′ 11 ″ / 7 m monohull sailboat designed by William Shaw and built by Pearson Yachts between 1983 and 1985.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Review of Pearson 23

Basic specs..

The Pearson 23 is equipped with a finn keel. The finn keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.22 - 1.32 meter (4.00 - 4.30 ft) dependent on the load.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

Hello All, I've been looking at a Pearson 23 on Craigslist. Anyone have experience with this boat? I can't seem to find much info on it. I'd like to use it on Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Thanks Marc  

Howdy! I've got a Pearson 23 Sloop down here on Galveston Bay in Texas. I know of two other local ones as well. Fire away with the questions! In the meantime... I'm assuming you're talking about the one listed in Marion. Appears to be hull #30 (based on sail number) but I don't know what type of keel is on it. There were a few options, mine is fin keeled. It was either built in Rhode Island or down here in League City, Texas. Overall construction is pretty good. I've learned that Pearson generally made good boats, and although this was a late entry into the trailer-sailor craze of the 70's, it wasn't/isn't a shabby boat. Solid fiberglass hull, balsa cored deck. The interior lacks headroom, and I wouldn't want more than a couple (maybe with small child) aboard for a weekend, but that all depends on how much you like camping. Same game as most similarly sized boats. Under the berths should be integrated tubs that hold all sorts of gear, and there's plenty more storage under the v-berth up front. If you took the tubs out, you could stuff a lot more in there too. My boat (Hull #10) doesn't have the mini-galley option, just companionway stairs, so I can't comment on function of that. The cockpit is an excellent size for day sailing, plenty of room for 4 adults to sit, laid back. Over 6' long! The traveler set up is good too, in the forward cockpit area, stretching across the whole cockpit. The companionway is elevated, keeping water out of the cabin if you take some on. There's a handy compartment in the cockpit for a 3 gallon gas tank that keeps it out of your way. Plenty of storage in the sail locker as well. The single lifeline seems to be a bit high, and there's no gate, so you're either ducking under it or high-stepping over to climb aboard. A very solid boat on the water. Heavier than others in the same class (at 3500lbs), and doesn't carry as much sail area as some, but this thing is no slouch. Ballast (Fin Keel) is 1300lbs of lead down low really helping keep the boat very stable and forgiving. Likes to sail at 10-15deg and when winds have picked up to 15 gusting 20+, the rail never touched the water under full main and 100% jib. I would recommend reefing by the time the wind gets here though, as gusts exceeding 20 will bring on the weather helm. At 15 steady, the 100% jib and one reef in the main will have you back on track. Under motor whilst in the kind of heavy chop we get around here in the bay, she'll hobby horse a bit, but once you raise the sails, she tightens up almost immediately, and pushes forward. The shrouds are kinda outboard, so you can't sheet in real tight, but the boat points reasonably well. Upwind is straight forward and this boat doesn't get scary. It just cruises along, riding up and down the chop and swells as if on a picnic. Downwind is uneventful and if you've got an asymmetrical kite, it makes for a very fun ride. I've experienced no crazy rolling motion or uncomfortable ride - I single hand most of the time (hank on jib and all). The rudder is outboard and is very responsive. This thing can turn on a dime. At 20' of waterline, hull speed is right around 6kn and doesn't take much effort to attain and hold on to. All in all, I think (beware of an owner's bias) this is an excellent boat in the 22-24' range. A great balance for all around performance and cruising fun. I've had experienced sailors aboard who have much larger vessels, and they all like the boat. Pearson also made a catboat version of the 23, which you'll probably find more info on. I have various info that came with the ships papers, but on the net, it's a small fish in a big pond. I have a video on YouTube, that although doesn't cover all the bases, it gives you an idea of what it looks like from the cockpit.

Hello thesocket Actually it was this swing keel model I was thinking about located in Darien, CT 23ft 1980 Pearson Sailboat I want a boat that can get into skinny water yet would be fairly stable in boisterous conditions. Now some questions. Have you sailed against a swing keel model? How did it do? Does the boat slice through chop under sail? Is there sitting headroom throughout the cabin? Is there a preferred place to install a waste tank for the head? Any areas on the deck particularly prone to water intrusion & rot? Is there solid fiberglass below the mast step, cleats & winches? Any issues that I should be looking for? Thanks for your help. Marc  

Marc, I'd run across one in Marion: 1979 23' Pearson Sailboat and didn't realize two were for sale at the same time! Have you sailed against a swing keel model? How did it do? I haven't sailed side-by-side with the swing keel model, but I believe that most sold were swing keels. There are two local besides mine, and they're both swing keel. Communication I've had with one owner about their boat was that it was great. When they got it, they went through it it and had the pivot pin "repacked." Does the boat slice through chop under sail? With sails up, the boat slices through chop well. Obviously a bigger/heavier boat will do it better, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how the Pearson 23 handles the chop under sail. I wouldn't imagine the swing keel being too much different in this respect. Is there sitting headroom throughout the cabin? Definitely. I'm not sure of actual headroom, but it's probably over 5'. I'm 6' and have to duck down in there, but when seated, there is a great deal of room. Is there a preferred place to install a waste tank for the head? I have a porta-potti, so I'm not familiar with marine head installations on these boats, but if a holding tank was going anywhere, it would be under the v-berth or under the port berth. V-Berth a more likely candidate. Any areas on the deck particularly prone to water intrusion & rot? I suppose make sure to check all the usual areas (stanchion bases, fittings, genoa track, etc). The mast wiring fitting where it goes through the deck comes out behind a cabin light on my boat. That could be one place to check. The forward hatch is an oddball shape, so make sure the gasket material is in good order and properly seals. Is there solid fiberglass below the mast step, cleats & winches? The base under the mast step is elevated, and appears to be pretty solid. It sticks up a few inches above the deck. I haven't drilled through any of these parts to check to see what the coring material is in these areas. I don't take it easy on my boat and haven't noticed anything flexing or cracking around the winches, spring blocks (for jib sheets), etc. Any issues that I should be looking for? - Definitely check to make sure the swing keel is in good working order. Who knows what previous owners have put her through! - Check the cockpit drain area for seepage, as water tends to stand around them in the gutters when it rains (good cockpit draining though). -Also, my boat has a seacock underneath the center of the cockpit (not sure what it's there for on my boat - which has no plumbing other than cockpit drains and manual bilge). I haven't had any problems with mine, but it is a hole in the boat! - The compression post is fiberglassed in at the base. You can easily see it by pulling up the bilge cover closest to it. I've tried to shake the compression post to look for any movement, and there wasn't any. - On either side of the bulkhead at the mast are wood panels screwed against the port and starboard liner. If you take these screws out, you can see the chain plates. IIRC, they're 1/8" thick stainless that protrude down 8-10" and are through bolted with stainless backing plates of equal size (through the bulkhead). Some wiring also runs through this area on the starboard side. - There is easy access to the fiberglass backing plates of the spring blocks as well (two small screws). You can pull those off and see some of the hull/deck joint to make sure it looks right. - I'm around 190lbs and can walk all over the deck, companionway hatch cover, etc without experiencing any flex whatsoever. I assume this should be the case with any of these. - The lifelines are coated. Be wary of them if they're old.. you never know what rots beneath that coating! Other than that, for the money (if it's sound) it's one hell of a 23' footer. My last keel boat was an Irwin 25, and I can tell you that (other than the interior space) the Pearson 23 was a MAJOR upgrade! Oh, and if Marion is closer to you, maybe ask for a looksee at that boat before making the trek to CT to have a peek at the other.  

Actually, the Darien boat would be easier for me to get to. I currently live in Durham, Connecticut. Our Durham house is sold as long as the buyers get their financing. They are pre approved for their loan so we are hopeful that it is a done deal. If things go as planned we will move on May 30 to Falmouth. The Darien boat sits on a trailer & that is a definite plus for me. Thanks for your info. I'll let you know how it goes. Marc

Here's an update on the 2 boats I was interested in. The one in Marion is very likely sold. The owner has a deposit & seatrial is Tuesday. Don't know about the one in Darien. The owner doesn't answer his email. Arrrgh!!! If anyone is thinking of selling their Pearson in the area, I'd like to see it. Marc

Call with any questions- 619.931.4958 BOAT IS SOLD AS IS without warranty or guarantees 1976 Pearson 30 Below is a link to a page with Pearson 30 specs, layout, etc. Sail Inventory: - 2 mainsails - one have been reworked spring 2014 with seam restitching - 3 jibs - 90%, 130%, 170% - spinnaker with pole and rigging - drifter - complete running rigging, some recently replaced Engine - Atomic 4 - rebuilt by Moyer Marine. Upgraded to fresh water cooling Hull - Absolutely no blisters. Has a double epoxy barrier coat Tiller steering Miscellaneous Equipment: - Bimini (lightweight) - Cockpit cushions - Bunk Cushions have been stored off of boat for 10 years - Lifesling - portapottie - new manual bilge pump The not-so-pretty: The interior of the boat is basically stripped. Cabin wiring and plumbing is gone. There are some rainwater leaks from the topside (primarily from the fixed window ports). A portion of the v-berth plywood surface needs to be replaced due to a hatch leak which has since been repaired. This 1976 Pearson 30 was first owned by a serious sailor if the sail inventory is any indication. There is a 90% heavy weather jib, a 130% genoa, and a 170% genoa. For light air and downwind work the boat has a drifter and a spinnaker with complete rigging. With tiller steering and hanked-on headsails, the boat is set up for sailing purists. Pearson 30's are noted for their solid construction, heavy-duty rigging, and great balance. The second owner wanted to be a sailor but the dream never materialized. The boat was docked at his 1700's plantation house off the Mobjack Bay for several years, a 40 minute ride under power to open water. I purchased the boat in drydock in 1994, upgrading from a Paceship 23 to have more cockpit room (8') for the kids. I had the Atomic 4 engine rebuilt by Moyer Marine, the foremost expert on these iconic sailboat motors in 1998 and applied a second epoxy barrier coat despite never having seen a blister on the hull. We had many wonderful sailing seasons but as the kids grew up and career pressures increased, we have not used the boat for a couple of years. This Pearson 30 needs a lot of TLC. Lack of use has been harder on the boat than regular use. Someone who is moderately handy could make the boat ship-shape with 50-75 hours of work. In addition to the items mentioned above the following is included: - complete running rigging - Bimini (lightweight) - Cockpit cushions - Bunk Cushions (have been stored off of boat for 10 years) - Lifesling - portapottie

Model Long Shaft

Category Daysailer Sailboats

1990 Quickstep long shaft Originally intended for aluminum construction, the design was sold to Bill Stannard of Rhode Island (USA), who produced 23 fiberglass boats. It was then sold to Gary Lannigan, marketing director for C.E. Ryder. Lannigan had Ryder build the boats (both the 24 & 21) but he marketed them. Lannigan eventually left Ryder and had the Quickstep built by The Anchorage Co. in Warren, RI and later by Shannon Yachts. The last ones were built by Lannigan himself as Quickstep, Inc. and the hulls were probably produced by Tillotson-Pearson or one of the other local Bristol, RI builders. Klassiek features an outboard well in the lazarette. This motor has only had marine grade fuel with Sta-Bil, with complete lower unit service and oil changed annually, and the motor is directly bolted to the transom. The trailer is a "float off float on" with the entire hydraulic brake system replaced. All electrical wiring and lights were replaced. The winch was replaced. New carpet on all of the bunks. The trailer has been repainted with Rust Bullet Standard Formula silver and black. All bearings were disassembled, cleaned, repacked with marine grease and installed with Bearing Savers and Hub Protectors with Zirk Fittings in the end cap. One set of tires replaced and all tires balanced. Tongue jack replaced. This boat has really been babied and it shows! She is a classic traditional daysailer/cruiser with beautiful lines that are timeless, with a very large cockpit. Klassiek turns heads everywhere she goes. Everything has been done for you. She really is turn-key.
