1974 Pearson 10M

This 1974 Pearson 10M is a 33-foot fiberglass sloop built for offshore cruising. The boat features a fin keel with skeg-mounted rudder, displacing 12,500 pounds with 5,445 pounds of ballast. A masthead sloop configuration carries a 2023 North Sail mainsail with 3Di ocean cloth, boom stack pack, and lazy jack lines, paired with a UK Sails Dacron genoa and a spare jib rigged for a roller furler. A Profurl furler, telescoping whisker pole on mast track, and high-strength low-stretch running rigging complete the sail plan.

The boat is powered by a Westerbeke/Universal M430a diesel engine rated at 23 horsepower, recently repowered with 750 hours logged. A larger prop shaft with Vari-Prop variable pitch propeller and a deep-cycle battery provide efficient power and control. A Raymarine ST 60 Tri-Data and Garmin GPSmap 640 support navigation and monitoring, while a Raymarine linear drive autopilot assists handling. The boat cruises at 7 knots and reaches 9 knots under power.

Deck and interior systems emphasize ventilation and visibility. Four Lewmar opening ports on each side and a Lewmar deck hatch over the main salon ensure airflow. Upgraded stainless steel life lines, bow pulpit, and stern pulpit with full-width raised seat reinforce safety and comfort. The rigging and hardware reflect modern upgrades made over decades of ownership and regular cruising use.
