The Pearson 10M is a classic sailboat designed by William Shaw. These boats were built by Pearson Yachts from 1973-1980 with peak production occurring in 1974 and 1975. A majority of the boats reside in the northeastern area of the United States however owners are located throughout the United States and [1]
Production
[edit]Approximately 230 of these classic hulls were made. The standard arrangement has a small galley aft and settees/berths port and starboard. Their hulls, like most early fiberglass boat hulls, are known for being significantly thicker than more modern fiberglass construction with alternating layers of 1.5 oz. fiberglass mat and 24 oz. woven roving. The full shoal-draft keel has a 4250 lb. lead ballast embedded into it with a displacement of 10,300 - 12,600 lbs.[2][3]
Variants
[edit]The Vanguard was available in a sloop rig with a standard mast or a tall mast.[4] The original engine was an "Atomic 4" gasoline engine however many have been replaced with marine diesels. It was equipped with tiller steering, but many have been converted to a wheel.
Misc
[edit]There is an active Owners' Group at Yahoo! Groups[5] and a resource website at PearsonVanguard.org.[6]
