The Pearson 28 is an American sailboat, designed by William Shaw and first built in 1975.[1][2][3][4]
The Pearson 28 was replaced in the company product line by a new Shaw design, the Pearson 28-2, introduced in 1985.[5][6][2][7][8]
Production
The Pearson 28 was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States from 1975 to 1982, but it is now out of production.[1][2]
The design was introduced in 1975 and then updated in 1980 with a new keel and interior improvements. It remained in production until 1982 in this modified form.[1][2][3][9][10]
Design
The Pearson 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa cored deck and wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.[1][2][3]
The boat has a length overall of 28.00 ft (8.5 m), a waterline length of 25.00 ft (7.6 m), displaces 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) and carries 3,530 lb (1,601 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m). The early version also had an optional shoal draft keel.[1][2][3][9][11]
The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine of 30 hp (22 kW). The fuel tank holds 14 U.S. gallons (53 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 22 U.S. gallons (83 L; 18 imp gal).[1][2][3]
The boat has a hull speed of 6.56 kn (12.15 km/h).[3][11][12]
