Pearson P26 1977 for sale in NJ - Good Conditions and ready to sail

[andreott...@gmail.com]

Hi Everyone, 

First of all, thank you so much for keeping this group alive - I have been following the various posts, learning a lot about my boat, and your knowledge has been invaluable in approaching technical and maintenance challenges over the years. 

I purchased my P26 in 2021 and have been sailing it every season. I've put in some extra work, including a full gel coating in 2021, a new head in 2022, and the standing riggings have been tensioned. Additionally, the outboard engine was serviced at the beginning and end of the season. The boat comes with a radio, a complete set of sails including spinnaker, genoa, and storm jib, all sheets and lines, and halyards in good shape. Battery new in 2023. The engine is a Tohatsu 9.8 long shaft from 2010, in good order. I replaced the impeller a couple of years ago and have an additional spare onboard. Keelbolts are in good shape, and bottom paint was redone last year. Navigation lights work, but I needed to fix the masthead light. I started cabling it, but unfortunately, I won't have time to finish. The rudder shaft is also in good condition. The boat also comes with a few spare rudder bearings from the previous owner.   

I am selling it because I just had my second son. While the first kid alone was still manageable, with two I'll need to step away from boat ownership for a few years at least. 

I'll load the Facebook marketplace ad soon, and I'll share the link. In the meantime, I wanted to put this out there in case some of you are interested. The title is clean, a marine survey was performed in 2021, and all the works above are documented. 

The boat is currently at Haverstraw Marina in NJ, with the slip paid until the end of October. Asking price is 2k - negotiable.

If you're interested, please feel free to let me know and ask me any questions. I'll share the FB post with pictures and everything over the next few days. 

Many thanks!

Pietro
