Hello Pearson Owners,
My wife and I are very new to sailling, but not to boating. I am an Ex NAVY Seal and my wife is a Combat Medic/LPN in the ARMY. We are stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC. I am now a pro bass angler on the FLW tour. I was doing a seminar at Washington Marina and was offerd a 1975 Pearson-26 One Design for free. I looked at the boat and it was in excellent condition for being abandonded for a few years. All the sails were there, the main sail needs minor repairs. It has been stripped on the inside of all the cloth and any meterial that would get mold and mildew on it. I have picture if any one would like to see it. We just need a few pointers on how to get wood finish back in, add portholes, turn the portapotty to a regular marine head and places to get all deck rigging after we repaint. Oh and tiller needs very minor repair also.
YES it floats and is in a slip. we ran it up the potomac river everything works including 9.9 hp Honda Outboard. I am thankful for this opportunity to meet great people and make great frineds.
Keep your sail to the wind..
John and Hope
