Pearson 1983

The Pearson 424 stands out as a remarkable cruiser, with the potential to be a competitive racer when equipped and sailed properly. Its timeless design features a moderate aspect fin keel, an efficient sail plan, and a skeg-mounted rudder, ensuring both impressive sailing performance and cruising comfort. Acadia, a notable example of this model, has achieved significant victories, including overall wins in the Pensacola to Havana Regattas in 2015 and 2017, and the Cruising Division in the Regatta al Sol (Pensacola to Isla Mujeres) in both 2020 and 2024. Additionally, it has been honored as Boat of the Year by two Pensacola yacht clubs (PYC and NYC). The vessel comes fully equipped for racing and cruising, boasting advanced electronics and a comprehensive inventory of spare parts, including a motor, electronics, and hardware. The rigging, both standing and running, has been diligently maintained and is in excellent condition, with the bottom freshly serviced in late 2023. Over the past decade, Acadia has undergone continuous updates by its current owner, making it ready for immediate cruising adventures. The Pearson range is widely regarded as one of the finest yachts built in the USA, and this model exemplifies a serious blue water cruiser crafted to the highest standards. The experienced owner has kept Acadia well-prepared for navigation, utilizing the boat nearly year-round. The solid base has been meticulously maintained for sea voyages, and the aft cockpit provides easy access to the captain's cabin, complete with a navigation table and direct entrance to the engine room.
