The Pearson 323, introduced in 1976, represents a refined era of naval architecture from the drawing board of William Shaw. Designed as a robust coastal cruiser that prioritizes interior volume and stability over outright racing speed, the 323 was a departure from the narrower, CCAinfluenced lines of earlier Pearson models. Between 1976 and 1983, approximately 385 hulls were produced, solidifying its place as a staple of the American usedboat market. The vessel is characterized by its moderate displacement, a skegmounted rudder for steering protection, and a masthead sloop rig that favors simplicity and ease of handling for a couple or small family.
