Pearson 323 Pearson 1982

Introducing Amazing Grace – An Impressive Pearson 323 Cruiser with a Rebuilt Yanmar Engine and Top-Notch Features. The 1982 Pearson 323, aptly named "Amazing Grace," is a cherished classic cruising sailboat renowned for its robust build, smooth sailing experience, and reliable offshore performance. Crafted by designer Bill Shaw, the Pearson 323 has built a solid reputation as a safe, capable, and comfortable coastal cruiser, making it a coveted choice for sailors seeking a well-rounded vessel under 35 feet. This model is often commended for its excellent comfort ratio (upper 20s) and a capsize screening ratio below 2.0, indicating a hull designed for stability, safety, and minimized fatigue while sailing. Its moderate displacement paired with a well-balanced sail plan ensures predictable handling, excellent tracking, and a comfortable ride across various sea conditions—qualities that appeal to both seasoned sailors and those stepping up to a serious cruising boat. This vessel has clearly been well cared for, featuring numerous upgrades. A standout feature is the rebuilt Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine, which boasts approximately 70 hours of use, providing reliability, efficiency, and peace of mind for long-distance cruising. This is complemented by a three-blade propeller for consistent performance under power. On deck, Amazing Grace is thoughtfully equipped for comfort and extended seasons at sea. A full cockpit canvas enclosure—including a dodger, connector, bimini, and perimeter cockpit curtains—offers excellent weather protection, significantly enhancing cruising time. The ground tackle is efficiently managed by a Lofrans manual windlass, and a stainless steel cockpit grill adds convenience for entertaining and dining at anchor. Below deck, the interior is warm, functional, and inviting, featuring attractive upholstery and a layout that maximizes space and livability. The galley is well-appointed for serious cruising, equipped with refrigeration and a stainless three-burner LP stove with an oven, making meal preparation aboard a breeze. An on-demand LP gas water heater ensures hot water for added comfort during extended stays. The vessel is outfitted with a comprehensive suite of electronics and navigation equipment for its size, including a full Raymarine setup with GPS, radar, chartplotter, depth sounder, VHF radio, autopilot, wind instruments, and a navigation center. Safety and offshore readiness are further bolstered by an included liferaft, a rare find in this class of boat. The Pearson 323 continues to be a highly sought-after cruising sailboat, offering genuine seaworthiness, comfortable living spaces, and timeless lines in a manageable, owner-friendly package. Amazing Grace is a well-maintained, well-equipped example that is ready for her next adventure with a new owner. Amazing Grace is available for viewing at McCotters Marina & Boatyard, Washington, NC.
