The Pearson 32 is a 31.75ft masthead sloop designed by William Shaw and built in fiberglass by Pearson Yachts between 1979 and 1982.
The Pearson 32 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
