We are looking for input from current and former owners of the Pearson 323 for an upcoming boat review. Do you own, or have you owned, a Pearson 323? Perhaps you know someone who owns or has owned one? (If so, please forward this message!)

Please send your comments to Dan Spurr at: danspurr@aol.com by July 19 and be sure to include the year/model of your particular boat.

Specifically, Dan wants to know about:
· sailing characteristics (good and bad)
· build quality (issues and accolades)
· what you like most about the boat
· what you like least about the boat
· specific problems you’ve had with this boat (such as leaky hull/deck joint)

I already sent my glowing review in.
I am glad they are finally looking at our boat.
For those of you who don't know GOB, it is a wonderful publication.  A bit pricey, but worth it.

This is what I sent Good Old Boat about what I thought...If your sail's are balanced the boat about sail's itself.  No need to turn on auto, just tighten wheel brake.  Does well in 2 to 4 foot sea's and 15 to 20 knot winds put in your first reef no problem getting to hull speed.  This boat is very sea kindly.  It is made with a heavy fiberglass hull and is solid as a rock.  The favorite thing about this boat is the dining table lifting up and out of the way and the least favorite is no room around the motor to work on it or service.  I have had this boat since 2013, no major problems but I do keep up with regular maintenance.  The only advice I have for a new owner is don't have a job where you have to work alot of hours because you will want to be out sailing her...  Dick Martin     Myrtle Beach, S.C.
