The Pearson 23, introduced in 1982, represents a refined chapter in William Shaw’s design legacy at Pearson Yachts. While the company had already seen massive success with the smaller Electra and the larger Pearson 26, the 23 was engineered to occupy the "sweet spot" of the trailerable cruiser market. It was designed to offer the stability and interior volume of a much larger vessel while maintaining a 8.5foot beam, which was the maximum width for trailering without special permits in most jurisdictions. This model arrived during an era when Pearson was transitioning toward more modern performance profiles, featuring a flatter underbody and a more efficient fin keel compared to the fullkeel Alberg designs of the 1960s.
