1966 Pearson Vanguard 32
Brokers comments:This boat is beautiful! In every sense of the words, turnkey classic head turner! "Petrel" is a Phillip Rhodes design, built for blue water cruising with a full lead keel, encapsulated inside a 2 thick solid hull. It has only been used in fresh water and continuously upgraded to yacht standards. The extensive list of upgrades is impressive! The exterior is a gorgeous blue Awlgriped hull with white stripes. The interior is spotless from the bilges to the headliner. New upholstery and varnished wood surrounds you in traditional luxury. The 4 cylinder reliable Universal Westerbeke diesel runs perfectly. "Petrel" is a complete boat from the diesel, tiller (with pilot) roller furling and large cockpit, it can take any weather safely, comfortably, easily and in style! "Petrel" will pass any survey in almost Bristol condition every system and part is practically new. It even has AC and heat! Located under a custom cover at our Buffalo, NY marina, asking far below replacement value! A must see for the sailor looking for a traditional style mini-yacht; it will not last long!

Designed by Bill Shaw, the Flyer was and still remains a high performing race boat. A clean layout with flush mounted decks and a large cockpit make it a comfortable racer or daysailer. Below decks is a very spacious layout with plenty of room for sails, gear, or sleeping. The technology of this construction encompasses cored materials and a lightweight diesel.
The original owner of this Pearson Flyer customized her, and was recognized by an article written in the Pearson's Newsletter in the early 80's. All deck hardware is located amidships for easy sail trim. All lines & halyards lead aft through the five additional blocks that are mounted on the custom stainless steel mast collar. The Main Controls, Cunningham, Boom Vang, Reef Lines & Outhaul lines then travel back through cheek blocks to secondary winches via halyard stoppers. The pole downhaul leads to jam cleats in the cockpit. The Boom is modified to allow flattening and the number one reef to run free. An internal line is run for a secondary reef. Two running backstays (4:1) were added.
Mounted on a pod above the companionway is the digital depth sounder, log & wind indicator. An ice chest was added in place of the port side galley area down below. An Elanco seacock was installed for the galley sink, which produces a flush surface when closed eliminating any drag. In addition, all thru-hulls were especially install by reaming out the balsa core for ½ inch and filled in with glass and resin & packed from the interior hull surface with matt and resin under the securing nuts so that the units would be flush with the hull surface and eliminate any moisture penetrating into the balsa core.
