The Pearson 282, introduced in 1985, represented a significant evolution in the design philosophy of William Shaw and Pearson Yachts. Stepping away from the IORinfluenced lines of the earlier 1970s Pearson 28, the "Mark II" was engineered to maximize interior volume and stability while maintaining the spirited performance characteristics for which the brand was known. During its production run through 1990, the 282 became a staple of the coastal cruising community, often described as a "big" 28footer due to its nearly 10foot beam and clever use of vertical space. It was a boat designed to bridge the gap between the entrylevel daysailer and the serious offshore cruiser, offering a refined fiberglass build that has proven remarkably durable over four decades.
