The Pearson 27, introduced in the mid-1980s, represents the pinnacle of William Shaw’s "performance cruising" philosophy for the entry-level coastal market. While its predecessor, the Pearson 26, was a utilitarian success with over 4,000 hulls built, the Pearson 27 was designed to meet a more sophisticated set of requirements: greater interior volume, improved pointing ability, and the inclusion of amenities typically reserved for 30-foot vessels. Built during the transition years of Pearson Yachts’ ownership, the model was engineered to be a "big" 27-footer, utilizing a wide beam and a clever aft-cabin layout to appeal to young families and couples moving up from daysailers.
