'Sarah', my Pearson 424 ketch is bluewater-proven having completed a circumnavigation of the Atlantic, and a return trip to Bermuda. She's currently located in St. Augustine, Florida, USA.

s/v 'SARAH'
Built in 1978, she is hull #2.

Gear and equipment includes:

• A 2008 4-cylinder Yanmar;
• A Solent Stay with staysail and storm jib;
• An asymmetrical spinnaker in sock;
• A Monitor Self-Steering Windvane;
• SSB Radio;
• Radar;
• AIS; 
• A Feathering propellor;
• An AB aluminum bottom RIB;
• A 9.9 Mariner outboard;
• Newer winches;

This Pearson 424 ketch is offered for sale complete with lots of spare parts and tools.

'Sarah' is a very solid well-equipped example of a Pearson 424 ketch as you can see from the photos below. She still needs some attention but really just add-ons and custom features to make her all your own. She's priced accordingly, allowing for the needed items to make her yours. 

For example, the following needs improvement:

• Sail covers and dodger are functional but could be replaced;
• Needs bottom job; 
• Jib is a composite sail and not is great shape but still very useable; 
• Interior cushions still functional but could use a refresh; 
• Generator hasn’t been run since 2015;
• Air conditioning needs to be replaced;
• Running rigging is worn and dirty.
