I have sold Recess, our Oday 25, and we are sailing our now to us 1982 Pearson 323 home this weekend. Very excited about the new addition, but at the same time hate to see an old friend go. It gets expensive owning too many boats.

Pearsons are great boats Dave. Congrats! Keep in touch on the other forums. Also, Rudy has Pearson parts if you need anything. Good luck with the Pearson 323!

I plan on being around this Oday forum. I have gotten to know too many of you over the years to not want to keep up. I read much, much, much more than I post.

What are you going to name your new boat? Loved the name of your old one.

My wife has been wanting to name it Searenity since we looked at it. I like the idea of a play on serenity and the sea. I know serenity is a pretty common name for a sailboat, we will have to see.

Thank you,

I plan on doing that after I put her in the slip this weekend. I am a bit superstitious.

congrats on the new boat and a fine one at that.....my first choice when looking was Pearson then Catalina but couldn't fine one with a shoal keel and I almost bought a Pearson 36-2 a few years back but the owner wouldn't budge on his price and he was asking way more than I thought it was worth

Cool life's too short to worry how much you spend on boats. Try a little 'voodoo' math.

Thanks guys. I am pretty excited. I am grateful for having such a solid built and comforatble boat as Recess is. I will be very happy if this new boat brings as much joy as my family recieved from our Oday 25 over the years.

He really liked Recess. I traded him Recess and some cash. He has already sold Recess to a friend of his who has taken the boat to be upholstered. So it seems like the boat found a home. I am loving this new Pearson. I have some cell phone pics of the interior in the condition we bought it.



That is the admiral checking the vberth. The whole boat is bone dry.








A brand new Main and a 150 furling genoa with the edge material already sewn on. There is a 110 genoa on already.

I will post a few outside pics later. I have not uploaded them yet.

I am very happy with how she sails and motors. I have to get used to the prop walk in revers though. It is a very strong and nice boat.

Congratulations on the new boat. Is it red yet?
I am going to try Mainsail's method of polishing to see if I can restore the gel coat. If I do not succeed, I may have to fall back on rolling and tipping again.

Man is that boat ever so sweet! The Pearson has always been one of my favorite boats. They were built not too far from where I live, don't sha know. Good luck with her Dave.

The are comfortable, but what I really like about them is they are very thoughtfully put together. You look at where things are put and you understand they are designed and built by people that have a lot of experience kicking around in boats. She needs a little love on the outside, nothing to be fixed, just a good cleaning.

She must sail really nice. She's a roomy boat, that's for sure. What a beautiful area to sail! Dave you lucky stiff! I think that boat is a keeper! Thank you for sharing this film clip with us. I'm envious.

She was in Pensacola when I bought her. She has lived most of her life in fresh water in a river up from Mobile Alabama.
