Broker's Comments
This Pearson 424 Ketch appears in great shape. She's a solid blue water cruiser, with many recent upgrades, and is priced to sell.
With a versatile ketch rig, roller furling headsail, and optional cutter rig inner stay, she is well-equipped for serious sailing and for comfortable cruising. Her three cabin layout and separate shower would make her an ideal liveaboard. The beautiful teak interior has plenty of natural light and is very comfortable.
This boat is in very nice condition having spent the last seven years in the Pacific Northwest undergoing refitting from two successive owners.
The current owner has lived and cruised on her for two years from 2010 to 2012 and is now ready for a new adventure. This worthy boat deserves a new and enthusiastic owner!
