1979 Pearson 4JH5E
When the P40 was introduced in 1977 it was loaded with features that broke the Pearson mold. The hull was balsa cored for strength and insulation, with a unique whale-shaped underbody and a deep centerboard. The hull shape was similar to Ted Hood’s centerboarders of the time. The deck, however, is the P40’s most recognizable feature. It is a racy and sexy flush deck - great for working on deck or just laying out to catch some rays. Not only is the construction top rate, the interior finish is also much better than most Pearsons. The P40 is one of those boats that has fallen through the cracks of the used boat market, and that can work to the advantage of the used boat buyer, especially if they are in the market for a lively cruising boat
This Pearson 40 Flush Deck has a newer Yanmar diesel engine and ZF gears and has many recent improvements over several years, including the Leisure Furl Boom and Mainsail. The bottom was epoxy barrier coated in 2000. Take a closer look at this Pearson 40'. Come and sail Cool Hand away today! She is presently in inside storage..
