Pearson Countess 44 1965

Introducing the stunning 1965 Pearson Countess 44 Ketch, a beautifully classic cruising yacht that has been extensively upgraded. With a robust fiberglass hull and deck free of soft spots, this vessel has been lovingly maintained and enhanced by its knowledgeable owner, a former yacht captain. Powered by a low-hour 2006 Yanmar 110HP diesel engine, she glides comfortably at cruising speeds of 6.5+ knots, featuring a clean and accessible engine room. The decks have been meticulously stripped to fiberglass and professionally painted with Awlgrip, while the deckhouse has been redesigned with modern epoxy paint and sleek replacement windows. The wide side decks and thoughtfully removed fittings ensure a streamlined and functional layout, perfect for ease of movement while sailing. Her easy-to-manage ketch rig, expansive cockpit, and generous accommodations make her an ideal choice for extended cruising or coastal journeys.
