At least 10 years newer
We owned a Beneteau 361 and really loved it. It is a great quality boat, well designed and sails extremely well. They started making the 361 in 1999 so it is at least 10 years younger than the 1989 Pearson. I have never owned a Pearson but I understand they are great boats also. We traded in our 2001 Beneteau 361 for a larger 2006 Beneteau 473 which is a fine testimonial to the Beneteau product. Rich
