@SailinganFD Is it just me or does the Triton look a little overpowered? Could have done with a smaller jib or another reef in the mainsail, probably more comfortable ride and I would have thought, faster??

Hi, I just bought my first sailboat. It is a Pearson. I dont know the exact model and I am trying to find out what it is. Can anyone who knows pearsons help me. It is a 25 foot sloop rig, 1967, and the plaque on the cockpit says hull #6. To me it looks like a Renegade, but I thought all renegades came with inboards. I have a outboard well. Contact me for photos. Any help is appreciated.

That is a Pearson Triton for sure. Very nice!

Too much sail.

The boat is Whisper (previously Alma). Pearson Triton converted to yawl by current owner. Built by Aeromarine in Sausalito CA. 1960. Sails out of Berkeley CA. Nice boat.

Well, that's definitely not a Vanguard sail logo, it is a Triton logo and I'm pretty sure Vanguards are not fractionally rigged. Fairly sure that is a Triton but I sail this area lots and have never seen this boat. In fact I have never seen a Triton yawl, but they do exist. Looks like sail #168? Hard to see.

@jonheiner "just inside the Golden Gate"-- well, i wouldn't say that. It's at least a mile from the gate to the west mouth of Raccoon Straits, perhaps 2 miles. Horseshoe Cove is 'just inside the Golden Gate" and Fort Point is "Just inside the Golden Gate," but Raccoon Straits is pretty far from the Golden Gate.

Looks to be one of the rare yawl-rigged Pearson Vanguards. Thirty-two feet LOA and designed by Phillip Rhodes.

seems like fun haha

Wow is that a Triton Yawl? Those are rare.

It looks like it is a Triton Yawl, based on looking at a photo on the web.
