The Pearson 30 has a well-proportioned masthead rig. The mainsail comprises 44% of the working sail area, more than is found on many modern "racercruisers," but a reasonable proportion for a true multi-purpose boat. Base price in 1971 was $11,750. By November 1979, base price had jumped to $28,300.
COASTER 30 (PEARSON)
It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
Pearson 30 Coaster = Vs. = Vanguard / Alberg
The Coaster was designed to the MORC Rating rule of the day, which produced reasonably wholesome boats in terms of moderately longer water lines than was the trend for that era and more efficient underbodies and higher ballast ratios than was typical for the more popular CCA rating rule derived designs such as the Alberg 30 or Pearson Vanguard.

Nov 21, 2021. #7. The Pearson 30 design is good for blue water cruising. Certainly, equipment and mods would be needed to make it ready. I would go see the boat for sale.

Pearson 30 Used Boat Review
Generally the Pearson 30 is constructed to good boat building standards and holds up well when properly cared for. The only consistently reoccurring problem noted with a majority of Pearson 30s is sloppy rudders that result from Pearson's use of Delrin bushings in a fiberglass rudder post tube. Worn bushings are easily replaced without ...
Pearson 30
The Pearson 30 is a 29.79ft masthead sloop designed by William Shaw and built in fiberglass by Pearson Yachts between 1971 and 1981. 1000 units have been built. The Pearson 30 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized.
Pearson 30
Further, the Pearson 30 is tangible evidence of Bill Shaw's contention that a fast boat can be beautiful. Step aboard and study the clean, uncluttered lines and wide walkways. From the helm the visibility is excellent. Her 7'6" cockpit provides room for the whole family with cockpit stowage provided in a lazarette aft and a roomy sail locker to ...

Pearson vs Newport vs Ericson vs Catalina 30
The Pearson is going to sail the best. The Newport is in between. The Newport interior will be the nicest (teak and holly sole, real teak cabinets, leaded glass lockers, etc. A little additional info. I used to own a Newport 28. The Newport 30 is very close. I have sailed on a number of Catalina 30's.
Designed by T. William Shaw, the Pearson Coaster came before the Pearson 30, being built from 1967 through 1970. She's got a generous beam which lends to a hung interior. Ruggedly built, the Pearson Coaster is a fast cruiser, very stable and sea kindly. Her long waterline - directly transcends to speed - made her an optimum racer back in the day under MORC, but she's well suited for ...
Pearson 30 vs Cal 29 (more info in the comments) : r/sailing
I am not familiar with the Cal 29 but I currently Owen a Pearson 30 and can give some feedback on that boat. It's a fantastic boat for many reasons, but it is a coaster racer/cruiser and I absolutely would not take it offshore. While the encapsulated keel is a huge benefit, the rudder is vulnerable and unprotected.
Pearson Coaster and Wanderer
A small solar panel on the transom keeps the batteries charged. 3,000 negotiable includes mooring in Manhattan (no small deal) and possible dingy with 5 hp mercury. The Wanderer has a fantastic bottom, anti-fowling bottom paint and not a single blemish. Pulpit and windlass are great. 7 sails compliment her inventory.

Pearson 30 live aboard cruising?
So, the suggestion of a good used diesel, or new diesel, is the best practical alternative, outside of buying a boat that is equipped well enough or nearly so, for cruising. The P30 is a fine boat. Just find one that's in the shape needed to get going. BTW—one does not "steal" a boat. It's the other way.
Pearson 30? Good buys! Any others
The P30 is an excellent 'sailing' boat, much better sailing characteristics than a Cat30 or T30. However for long distance cruising and island hopping you may find the P30 hull a bit too 'floppy'. A P30 hull can be stiffened by the addition of internal 'stringers' that parallel the boats center line.

Pearson 30 Rudder Repair
1) The Pearson rudder post is hollow. Unless you drill and tap through the rudder post walls, and then mount eye bolts from inside the tube, you will not be able to get a rope secure to the rudder in such a way that you can hoist/secure the rudder post and lower/raise it within the tube. And it's still a lot of force to lift / lower.
