Don’t let her age fool you: this 1974 Pearson 30 has had extensive upgrades, offering exceptional value at this price point.
Nearly 1,200 Pearson 30s were built between 1971 and 1981, and this William Shaw design remains one of the most respected coastal cruisers of its time—valued for its smart interior layout, solid hull construction, and easy single-handed handling. DYER WOLF was re-powered in 2018 with a 28 hp 2003 Volvo (approx. 800 hrs) - a significant investment that sets her apart from others of her vintage. She carries a fully-battened Mainsail, a Genoa, and Spinnaker, plus essential electronics including chart plotter, compass, and VHF. Below decks she sleeps 5 - 6 with a spacious layout, convertible settee, and ample storage. The Galley includes a stainless sink, 2-burner stove, and icebox, along with a marine head. Newer solar panels round out her straightforward, reliable systems, enhancing her already capable layout and highlighting the kind of versatility, dependable independence, and exceptional value rarely found in boats of this vintage.
If you’re seeking a classic cruiser with costly upgrades already completed - and priced to deliver tremendous value - DYER WOLF is absolutely worth a look. Motivated seller says: MAKE AN OFFER.
