    Another great video. I'm always learning something from the Captain each episode. I recently bought a 1984 Pearson 386 and absolutely love it. She's such a beautifully sailing boat and comfortable live space (im 6'4") Your other reviews on Pearson's helped me in my decision so I thank you Randy and Captain Q.

    You Sold me.. Except I have one.. Everything you described was spot on... Okay.. there are critics everywhere.. The stove is a CNG.. never caught on. Impossible to fill.. My main complaint is the engine and drive system was offset, to remove the prop shaft .
    85% power to one side of propeller because the of water flow. This creates vibration. All owners deny this of course..and it makes it extremely difficult to back up. but I replaced the steel fuel tank because of corrosion. I removed it, cleaned it and pressure washed it that promptly blew a Silver Dollar size hole out. While the engine was out I fabricated a new cradle and put everything inline,only drawback is I have a 2 piece prop shaft. But she is smooth as silk, 50% noise reduction and backing no problem now.
    Great presentation..
    Thank You......

    Hey Q - I Like the new Intro scene, fresh a fun. Thanks for keeping it new a exciting. I really like this Pearson, a little work and it's a top notch vessel again. What it does need is all relatively easy stuff to do. That full shower is a big time sales perk !! ps. I think that stove was propane, not alcohol. Love your channel Q ,,, keep em' coming !!

      Thank you Kaye. Frankly you can not be too old to start. It’s a matter of matching a vessel to the proper body of water and your physical c as lability. Your first run with your hands on the tiller gliding over a glassy watered lake feeling the pressure of the breeze translated through the tiller while your hair flutters about your temple, you will only think why did I wait so long and how much longer can this day last

    It’s a nicely laid out boat. Certainly can see the potential. One can definitely see it’s a “ floater” . I’m a novice and loyal follower of the Captain . having said that I think the boat definitely , with a little upgrading has potential to be a fine vessel. As always , a great review by The Captain and Randy 👍🍺

    Hello and thank you to the Captain and Randy for reintroducing me to the idea of sailing. I grew up on Long Island and spent my summers on the LI sound and great South Bay, mainly on power boats, but always dreamed of sailing one day. You guys have inspired an old dream. Thank you

      @Captain Q, Yacht Hunter to be honest, it also frightens me. The last boat I owned was a classic '64 Chriscraft, and the cost was astounding, lol. I love the old Pearson 385. This was my dad's dream boat, but he never realized that dream. It'll be pretty cool if I could restore one and enjoy my retirement and honor his dream as well!

    I have many fond memories spent on my grandfather's 365 out on Lake Erie. I appreciate having the chance to revisit a nearly identical boat with you two. The Captain's comments about it being well-suited for families were dead on, in my experience. This channel has been incredibly informative for me as I start my own sailing adventures with a 21' Precision. My grandfather is gone now, but if anyone knows what became of his boat (I believe a 1979 Pearson 365)called Antares out of Sandusky, OH please let me know!

He lives in Annapolis Maryland and he and my brother work together on a project designing instruments for his new "Ocean Research Project".Anyway one of his first boats was a Pearson 323 and he knew the 365 very well and spoke quite highly of both of them.

    I have never liked the wood from the formica tree (varnished or unvarnished)! Whitby and Allied did a few years of these formica woodgrain bulkhead interiors, as did a lot of builders. By 1980, Pearson had notched up interior quality a lot. I would think about going Herreshoff on this boat, and either painting the wood grain formica white, or covering it with white formica - whichever was cheaper/easier.

      @@YachtHunters According to Arthur Beiser, in The Proper Yacht, twenty-three Pearson 365s were ordered before the first one was launched! The cutter rigged version draws 5.5', without any additional sail area (2' taller stick), so it seems like ketch is best for me, preferably repowered. Not a V drive fan, but just helped deliver a great Skye 51 (ketch) from CT to FL, with a flawless v-drive. Reliable power for upwind work, and a 1980+ for real wood interior would be high on the list.

    • @duncanmil1
      @duncanmil1 2 года назад

      It is a clever design of this particular v-drive. When in gear the drive goes straight through the transmission and the gear reduction 2:1 is done in the v-drive. In most v-drive set ups there are a set of gears in the transmission and another in the v-drive. Meaning this boat has the same number of gears running against each other as most non v-dives that have a gear reduction, which is most boats over 30 feet.

    My kind of boat, if I could have one. Very good price 'cause she needs some work but I'm thinking it could sail pretty quickly and the other stuff as time allows. Keep the good stuff coming Captain.

    I looked at a lot of Pearsons before buying my boat, I was really surprised when looking at the 365 ketch by the fact that it's only a one cabin boat, a lot of wasted space in my humble opinion, especially aft, they could have easily fitted a quarter berth aft of the nav station, still a nice boat even though it doesn't have a second dedicated berth /cabin, but that was the style of the day, clearly times and yacht design have changed, my chined corten steel VDS 34' has almost the same beam but with 2 decent sized quarter berths, a full forward facing nav station and a bigger galley and head in a slightly smaller boat LOA. Do like the shoal draft encapsulated keel and substantial skeg, good Bahamas boat, not sure I'd cross oceans in it or beat close hauled in 30+ apparent like I would with my boat. Good deal if you're willing to put in some sweat equity, and provided the standing rigging and sails are in good condition, there's a lot of wire, canvass and running rigging there.

      Well said. There’s a lid for every pot… although a VDS build can probably cover more pots than most. They do wonderful work and our family owned several over the years

    I just love those Pearson boys they make a nice boat in my eyes next year I'm thinking of getting a knew used boat like a Island packet but right now I'm expecting a boat budget of $20G. Also I'm one of those Cultus full keel nutjobs those the last boat was on had a modified full keel? Guessing that's what you'd call it. Quick step.

    Delivered one of these to a bareboat company in St Thomas from Annapolis MD via ICW to Charleston then offshore to the USVI in January of '79. Followed a tug thru the harbor ice in Annapolis then steamed as fast as possible down the waterway to Charleston. Offshore from Charleston to St T in 12 days. Survived a wicked gale making our easting, got bumped by a whale and nearly torpedoed along the way. Sturdy little boat I'll say.

Thanks

    capt Q. In the first few minutes you gave me enough information to help two channels ...first Wildings sailing a lovely 🇬🇧 young couple with their ketch rigged Commanche 1970s Catameran.
    And second Beau and brandy currently stranded on the hard with their electric powered Pearson with a retracting keel .. they found a lot of water inside the lead ballasted fixed keel moulding and a horrible bodged mess .. they've had to break open several wet patches and are trying to get it to dry out.
    Its similar construction as this ...but Im betting it was built with a drain plug in the keel hull but its been removed and glassed over.
    I suggested he install a couple of drain points during his repairs even before seeing this.
    ⛵🌊👍🏼🇬🇧 Thanks for the explinations.

      I was just reading about a product that’s a sealant/coating that protects against against oil and water. If Beau and Brandy can get that dried out (drains, desiccant beads, heat!), a good coating might limit future problems. Thanks for watching out for the youngsters! They often have more heart than sense, and I want that type to live a long time!

      I think their problems come from water in the inside of the boat sole bilges leaking down into the keel voids...with no easy way to track where its got in and how long its been building up .. a couple of robust drain plugs built into the low points will at least enable them to monitor and empty the voids round the lead ballast ..he calculated there was 9gallons of water in there when he started drilling holes and then had to break out the wet patches.
      If they can. once back on the water track down and eliminate any slow or intermittent source of ingresses they should be ok ...its seems its taken a year to reach this point.🤔 But they have to get out of where they are quite sharp.
      Theyve already poured through a large quantity of denatured alcohol.

I hope the identify the source of the leak soon. The den. alcohol should dry it nicely, once the bulk of the water is gone. Hope they can find a place to roost long enough to finish the repairs! Wishing them (and you!) the best of luck! Cheers.

      🤞🏻 Beau and Brandy ...the US couple are still in the boat yard in the Caribbean as far as I know from their channel ..just they've got a very limited time to repair the brick sized holes they dug out before they get back in the water.. they hauled out to Antifoul i think.
      The leak/s has been minor thats why it hasn't been traceable ....but they found the boat was sitting lower and had a couple of minor issues.
      The Wildings🇬🇧 problems center on starting their old Mercedes Diesel engine and its hydraulic drive valve pressure feed regulator to its twin hydraulic motors. Its pretty recalcitrant to start and Mark is on a steep learning curve with both the Engine its hydraulic pump and the regulation of pressure.... they are in the Med moving from Marceille's to somewhere in Spain .. but they have his parents with them so its more about handling a vintage Catamaran with a Ketch rig at Sea and at night.
