1978 Pearson 323

The Pearson 323 is a 32-foot masthead sloop designed by William Shaw and built as a rugged family cruiser. The design prioritizes safety and comfortable motion, with impressive interior volume for a boat of its size. The fiberglass hull measures 10 feet across the beam and was engineered to be forgiving and seaworthy in coastal conditions.

Power comes from a single 30-horsepower Universal gasoline engine, providing a cruising speed of 5 knots and a maximum speed of 7 knots. The yacht is built for practical, accessible sailing rather than racing performance, reflecting the design philosophy of its era.
