Pearson 23
The Pearson 23 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by William Shaw as a cruiser and first built in 1978.
The Pearson 23C is a 1983 cat rigged development of the sloop-rigged Pearson 23.
The design was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States from 1978 until 1981 with 42 boats completed, but it is now out of production.
The Pearson 23 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional keel and centerboard. It displaces 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) and carries 1,300 lb (590 kg) of ballast.
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee beryhs in the main cabin. The galley is located under the companionway ladder and is equipped with a stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 56 in (142 cm).
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 240 and a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h).
