Pearson 365 ketch opinions?
specifically, it looks like the draft of the pearson 365 ketch is only
4'6", yet it's not a wing keel. how does that work? does this make the boat tender? suitable for circumnavigation? - Ari |

The 4'6" keel on our Moody is a Scheel keel and sailing against the same model of boat but with a 5'6" standard keel, there's little or no difference in windward performance. Graham. |

I have known several people with 365s, one of whom is now a full time liveaboard. They seem to like the boat a lot. It is very roomy for its size and could no doubt circumnavigate if properly equipped, maintained and sailed. Shallow draft is mostly an asset for serious cruising since virtually no one will plan an offshore cruise that will be going to windward for any great distance. |
