The Pearson 23c is a 23.0ft cat (unstayed) designed by William Shaw and built in fiberglass by Pearson Yachts between 1983 and 1985.
The Pearson 23c is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
