Looking at a Pearson 10M Tall
Rig (1979) as my first real sailboat. The broker that I am working with has one that just came on the market for just over $27K. Looks to be in decent shape from the photos. I haven't seen it in person. I was almost set on a P34 (1984), but the price was a little out of my range. (mid 30's) and would require a couple of self-tailing
winches to make it easier to single hand. The 10M has them already.
I checked on the Pearsoninfo.net website for more details on the 10M, and it says it has headroom in 6'1-6' 2" range. I am a a little under 6" 6" and fit into the P34 (not much clearance), but it is listed as 6' 3".
I may be able to get the P34 for $32K ish, but it still requires the
winch upgrade.
Aside for those details, anyone have a Pearson 10M or owned a 10M and since moved on. Likes, dislikes? Should I strongly consider (if I fit) or save my pennies for the P34.
I am also going to post on the Pearson email list, but that is like asking someone who owns a Pearson, do they like there Pearson.
