Hello,
I recently acquired a Pearson Commander. Hull #307. Got her at auction from the marina for $1. Anyway here she is my first boat.

Looks like a good deal.

Did you see David Hasselhoff or was KITT just waiting for him to come back from sailing?

Congrats on your purchase, looks like you have a project ahead of you!

Love those good old boats. Thought that was the mast at first glance! Have fun -

Awesome! Did you get a mast? Take lots of picture for your before and after.

I have the mast, sails, and all the standing rigging. I will be documenting the whole process of restoring her. I'll be sure to post updates here, and on my blog

My boat is a slightly bigger cousin then yours (Tartan 27) and yours is a bigger version of an Ensign with a wonderful dog house roof. I've seen a few Pearson 26's and they remind me a lot of my boat.
I'd guess that this will be your boat under sail one day soon: Pearson Commander 26 sailboat for sale
Keep posting.

The ad for Commander above is the lake I keep my Pearson 26 One Design on. I noticed the Commander sold in April. I haven't seen it on the lake so it must have been moved somewhere else. Here's mine...
