1983 Pearson 303

The Pearson 303 is a 30-foot fiberglass sloop designed by Bill Shaw, built with solid laminate construction and internal lead ballast. The hull exhibits moderate proportions with a length-to-beam ratio of 2.77, contributing to generous interior volume and initial stability. Performance characteristics include a displacement-to-length ratio of 274 and a sail-to-displacement ratio of 15.6.

The interior layout offers comfortable cruising accommodations with a V-berth forward, full galley, enclosed head, main salon with settee berths, and aft quarter berth. The cabin features 6 feet 3 inches of headroom, teak trim throughout, and a light, bright layout. All interior and cockpit cushions are new, as are the exterior canvas covers.

A 20-horsepower Yanmar 3YM three-cylinder diesel engine was installed in 2018 and has approximately 500 operating hours. The yacht is equipped with a Varifold folding three-blade propeller and pedestal wheel steering. Navigation and safety systems include a knotmeter, depthfinder, VHF radio with AIS capability, wheel autopilot, and radar with integrated chartplotter. The sails consist of a mainsail with jiffy reefing and a genoa on Schaefer roller furling gear.

Recent work includes replacement of the main salon hatch and installation of two new batteries. The yacht is equipped with anchoring, docking, and safety equipment throughout.
