I too am interested in a Pearson 40 due to its sailing capabilities, build quality, comfort and shallow draft since I sail on the Chesapeake. Have been...
Greg Great observations and questions. Since I started the whole rudder discussion and got the design effort going on a "mark 2" rudder, let me first tell you...
Greg, I would like to add to what Chip had to say. I live aboard in Seattle and the past 6 weeks it has been rainy and cold. Lows in the 30's and highs around...
Chip & Denny, Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Your answers have certainly allayed any fears about the hull. I will be in St. Croix after Christmas and...
Greg, Chip and all, Just to allay any fears about the P40 driving one to drink, let me assure you it isn't the boat - it's the boat owners!!!! A great...

Chuck, I was hoping to find a P40 with all of the wonderful, expensive improvements already completed. Of course, may have to pay extra for it, but would then...
I would like to affirm the sturdiness of the Pearson 40. My father and I about a month ago were caught offshore in Hurricane Michelle. We found the boat ...
Greg - Accelerate your search for a P-40! 1) It is a great boat for the Bay, and will take you around the world if such are your plans. 2) The P-40 group is...
Fred, thanks for the encouragement, but I'm afraid I don't need much since I'm already convinced that the P-40 has all of the attributes needed for cruising...
Greg I have rigged my 40 as a cutter as have many of the owners. Here are a few examples: http://www.pearson40.org/inner_forestay.htm I have also rigged my 40...
Greg - I have not yet acquired the skills (or the accessories) needed to sail the P-40 single-handed. Specifically, I don't have an auto helm on Carpe Diem. I ...
Chip, thanks for sharing the modifications to Passion - you obviously put much thought and effort into the final results. If I were a little more attentive,...
Greg You seem like the kind of person we want as a Pearson 40 owner; smart, thoughtful, competent and willing to share with the group. Time to stop talkin and...
Greg: I am a Pearson 40 sailor, a slip-mate to Fred at Leatherbury Pt marina in Shady Side, Maryland. I single hand often, and usually go for a reasonably ...

Bob, Thanks for the information about your P-40. After 25 years of single handing I've come to the same conclusion that a good AP and self- tailing winches...
Chuck, thanks for the info about LOON. Appears that I shouldn't be too concerned about single handing the P40 if properly set up. Now all I need to do is...
Greg, I also singlehand my P-40 often. This includes a 700 mile trip from St John, USVI across southern Puerto Rico, the dreaded Mona Passage (where I took an...

Lew: No auto helm all that way?! I nominate you for the hard core single hander award. Bob ... From: apearson40@... [mailto:apearson40@...] Sent:...
Fred, By now you have had an overwhelming response to singlehandling the P40. I'll add my 2 cents. I am not an offshore sailor, but have had the boat...
