After 6 months and who knows how many boats we inspected we have finally found her. As of this weekend we now own a 1980 Pearson 365 ketch. Now the fun begin$.

Thanks to all those who gave us advise as we looked.

Congrats... don't name your boat the Pequod and just be on the lookout for spouting whales...

I hear a large white beastie is looking for you...

Best of luck with her Ishmael. From what I've read, that model was one of Bill Shaw's favorites - as evidenced by this quote:

“The 365 is not a slow boat, it is efficient and quick. If this leads you to believe that I designed the 365 for myself, you’re absolutely right. She’s all I personally want in a boat. I hope you will feel the same way.”
