1965 Pearson 32 Vanguard 32' Pearson Vanguard '65 "Japaka"
This Philip Rhodes classic is beautiful to look at and a joy to sail. The current owners, who grew up with this boat, have spent the past seven years restoring and upgrading her while maintaining many original details. A move to Europe forces them to reluctantly list her for sale. Work since 2007 includes a new Yanmar YGM30G diesel (330 hours), a new 3-blade prop, prop shaft, and PYY dripless shaft seal; new running/standing rigging, new spruce spreaders, and double lifelines; total rewiring; Furuno GPS, depth and temperature instruments (2012); a new mainsail with two rows of reef points; Force 10 2-burner propane stove with oven and broiler, Lavac head and 25 gallon holding tank; custom interior cabinetwork in teak and mahogany and mahogany hatch covers fore and aft. Two new opening ports in the main cabin make a total of six opening ports. Bottom and topsides painted at haul-out in 2012.
