Used Pearson 386 Sailboats for Sale

The Pearson 386 is a robust and capable monohull sailboat, renowned for blending comfortable cruising amenities with respectable sailing performance. Designed by the prolific William Shaw, who served as Chief Naval Architect for Pearson Yachts for over two decades, the 386 was produced between 1984 and 1985. She is specifically an aft-cockpit version built on the same hull as the center-cockpit Pearson 385, embodying Pearson's commitment to building reliable, well-engineered fiberglass yachts that offered both performance and livability. Advertised as a "new boat with a lot more performance than heretofore thought possible in a cruiser," the Pearson 386 has earned a reputation as a powerful, stable, and comfortable cruiser with a notable turn of speed.
