The Pearson 31 occupies a unique place in the lineage of American production boatbuilding, existing in two distinct iterations that bookend the most successful era of Pearson Yachts. While the original Pearson 31 (often called the 311) was introduced in the late 1960s as a traditional cruiser with a shorter waterline and long overhangs, it is the 19871991 Pearson 312 (or Mark II) that remains a staple of the brokerage market today. Designed by William Shaw, the 312 was engineered to maximize interior volume and performanceoriented handling, successfully competing against European imports of the era by offering a more robust, "overbuilt" American alternative. It was one of the last major successes for the Portsmouthbased builder before production ceased in the early 1990s.
