The Pearson 422 represents the final evolution of William Shaw’s 42foot hull series, introduced in 1983 to meet a growing market demand for centercockpit cruisers. Built on the same proven hull as the popular aftcockpit Pearson 424, the 422 was produced in limited numbers—approximately 39 hulls—before the company transitioned toward newer designs. It was marketed as a premium coastal and offshore cruiser, offering a "walkthrough" interior that eliminated the need for the "walkover" cockpit access common in smaller centercockpit designs of the era. The boat’s lineage is rooted in the "Grummanera" of Pearson Yachts, characterized by a focus on robust scantlings and predictable, seakindly performance.
