The Pearson 30 is an excellent boat and a great sailer, but is even
more into "old school" sailing than the Columbia 9.6, and is likely to
have an antique set of hank-on sails and one old car battery in it to
power the nav lights and maybe the LORAN G.

Pearson 30 was built between 1971 and 1981, I believe. Pretty much the same
era, but more of a sailors boat. Most have been updated. Mine had factory
wheel, along with furling and full batten main. Most alberg 30's I see these
days have furling! I now sail a C&C 32, which is faster and more refined...but
the P30 was a heck of a boat.
