Looking for a fun, sturdy, affordable sailboat thats easy to handle on the Bay?

Im selling my late-70s Pearson 26, a classic fiberglass cruiser known for being extremely solid, stable, and beginner-friendly.

Ive owned it since 2020 and put a lot of care into keeping it simple, clean, and easy to single-hand.

This is an ideal first Bay Area sailboat or a great step-up from ASA classes.

The marina slip in Alameda can probably be transferred to you if desired.
