If you ever wanted to take a chance on an older racer/cruiser, this would be your unique opportunity. Rarely do you find a vessel of this vintage so impeccably maintained. Liberty is well known, having a long history as a Yacht Club registered yacht with extensive Bay Area cruising and parade participation. Liberty’s current owner purchased her in 1985. That’s 39 years single-owner.

The Pearson 10M designer, Bill Shaw, left Sparkman & Stephens and joined Pearson Yachts in 1962. During his tenure at Pearson, he and his team designed over fifty sailboats and power boats until his departure in 1989. The 10M was so successful that 236 were made between 1973 and 1981. Her hull strength and ease of sailing are hallmarks of this model.

The 10M LOA is 33’6” (plus a few inches for the bow anchor roller and 25# CQR Anchor), 11’ beam, and a generous 6’1” headroom. She's got 25 feet of 5/16 chain and 200 feet 5/8” three strand rode and includes a spare Danforth Anchor.

The Pearson PHRF Rating is 144 with spinnaker and 168 without. Liberty’s sails: HEADSAIL: Jib - Triradial Quantum 120% with a NC 42 ProFurl headstay bullet-proof reefing system using a 13’10” pole.

The Owner’s binder has complete vessel information, haul out photos, build plans, yard receipts and Perkins engine manual. The engine has 1,032 hours. List Marine has worked on the mechanics on the boat since new in 1975. You'll find plenty of extras including an Inflatable Tahiti Kayak, ATN TopMast Climber, spare boat and engine parts, pfd’s, extra lines, new VHF Radio, battery charger, and rebuilt 12V breaker panel.

Liberty’s bottom was painted with Petit Trinidad Blue in November 2023 at KKMI. Her topsides were painted with Awlgrip Flag Blue in 2013. The propeller has been treated with PropSpeed. The navigation equipment is in good working condition: Compass recently rebuilt, knot meter, Datamarine wind indicator, and depth meter. 

The main salon is very spacious with one quarter berth and two double berths. The vee berth cabin has two single berths, or with the insert makes a generous double berth. A total of seven adults can sleep on Liberty. The galley includes an ice box, sink and a 3-burner stove and oven - alcohol.. She’s also got a wet head.
