The Pearson 365 Ketch, introduced in 1976, represents William Shaw’s vision of a dedicated, goanywhere auxiliary cruiser that prioritized stability and comfort over the racingoriented designs of the era. Produced until 1982 with approximately 405 hulls completed, the 365 was a departure from the "skinny" Albergera designs, featuring a generous 11' 5" beam and a modified fin keel with a protected skeghung rudder. It was built during the height of Pearson Yachts' production at the Portsmouth, Rhode Island facility, utilizing the robust fiberglass layup techniques that earned the builder a reputation for "bulletproof" hulls. While primarily known as a ketch, the hull also served as the foundation for two distinct siblings: a less common sloop configuration and the Pearson 367, a cutterrigged variant introduced in 1981 that featured a taller mast and a deeper 5' 9" draft aimed at improved upwind performance.
