Pearson 23 experiences
 

I am looking to moving up from a 15' dinghy to a "dry boat" for day sailing
and maybe some weekends on northern New England lakes. I have come across a
1979 Pearson 23 with a shoal keel / centerboard combination with a trailer
(must have).
Can anyone give me any advise about this boat and about how difficult it
might be to launch at regular public launch ramps? It draws 2'4" with the
board up.
Any advise would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce
