Cabin wiring and plumbing is gone. There are some rainwater leaks from the topside (primarily from the fixed window ports). A portion of the v-berth plywood surface needs to be replaced due to a hatch leak which has since been repaired. This 1976 Pearson 30 was first owned by a serious sailor if the sail inventory is any indication. There is a 90% heavy weather jib, a 130% genoa, and a 170% genoa. For light air and downwind work the boat has a drifter and a spinnaker with complete rigging. With tiller steering and hanked-on headsails, the boat is set up for sailing purists. Pearson 30's are noted for their solid construction, heavy-duty rigging, and great balance. The second owner wanted to be a sailor but the dream never materialized. The boat was docked at his 1700's plantation house off the Mobjack Bay for several years, a 40 minute ride under power to open water. I purchased the boat in drydock in 1994, upgrading from a Paceship 23 to have more cockpit room (8') for the kids. I had the Atomic 4 engine rebuilt by Moyer Marine, the foremost expert on these iconic sailboat motors in 1998 and applied a second epoxy barrier coat despite never having seen a blister on the hull. We had many wonderful sailing seasons but as the kids grew up and career pressures increased, we have not used the boat for a couple of years. This Pearson 30 needs a lot of TLC. Lack of use has been harder on the boat than regular use. Someone who is moderately handy could make the boat ship-shape with 50-75 hours of work. In addition to the items mentioned above the following is included: - complete running rigging - Bimini (lightweight) - Cockpit cushions - Bunk Cushions (have been stored off of boat for 10 years) - Lifesling - portapottie
