S/V Windancer is a Mystic Islands, New Jersey based 1979 Pearson 30 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

Windancer is a must-see vessel that is in sail-away condition!

The Pearson 30 was an industry success story. The boat is fast and responsive. Finish quality is above average. The interior is comfortable and reasonably roomy within the limitations inherent in a 30-footer. This vessel is set up for easy single-handed sailing.

Pearson has a reputation for building solid production boats, a deserved reputation well in evidence in the P30. The Pearson 30 would be an excellent choice for the aggressive and self-confident sailor, as well as the beginning sailor who desires a high-performance boat for daysailing or club-level racing, as well as for reasonably comfortable short-term cruising. It is a boat that inspires confidence in both old hands and new sailors. The family with two children will find it a comfortable cruiser. Sailors with friends who enjoy spirited sailing will find it a good choice for day sailing and local racing.

The long production run and continued popularity have created a boat with few inherent major problems and high resale value. The Pearson 30 is a good investment.
