The Pearson Triton is a 28.5-foot full-keel sloop designed by Carl Alberg in 1958 and produced by Pearson Yachts from 1959 to 1967. One of the first fiberglass auxiliary sailboats built in the United States, the Triton debuted at the 1959 New York Boat Show and was an immediate sensation, launching both Pearson Yachts and Alberg's career as a designer. Approximately 750 were built. Known for a sea-kindly hull, surprising interior volume for her size, and a proven offshore pedigree, including multiple circumnavigations, the Triton was inducted into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame and remains one of the most respected small cruising sailboats ever produced. I have owned, maintained, and actively sailed this Triton since 2009. Over sixteen years of stewardship, first in Bristol, RI, and then here in Rockport, ME, she has received a comprehensive refit including a rebuilt Beta 20 diesel, complete rewiring, new fuel system, faired and repainted bottom and topsides, new sails, and more, all while trying to preserve the character and seaworthiness that make the Triton a legend. She has proven herself offshore with a 2017 Gulf of Maine crossing as well as won her Wednesday night racing fleet multiple years running in her hometown of Bristol, RI. This trustworthy and beautiful old girl is ready for her next chapter as my partner and I have recently acquired a Bristol 40. Most attached photos taken in the last year. She is currently under cover on the hard in Camden, ME. Please reach out and I will be happy to meet you at the boat for a visit.
