Hello, My name is Dick Martin. I just purchased a Pearson 323 Hull # 89 last week. It was just put in the water last week and I will have to fix things on it without taking it out till next year, but I will use it this summer. A lot more boat than I had, but I am depending on this site for some helping words. I have fixed a few things already like spreader lights, bilge pump, halyards, etc. Working on the autopilot today. If I put this in the wrong section let me know this site is new to me also. Thanks, Dick

Congratulations on your new boat - I hope you get as much enjoyment out of her as most of us do!
Feel free to post questions; you'll also find there is a lot of useful information already here (I found the project links very inspirational).

Welcome Dick. Good luck with your boat.

You came to the right place Dick.
Lots of knowledge here

You bought the right boat! We have had many great experiences and have been caught in some very snotty conditions 50 miles offshore and the boat was rock solid. I moved up from a 25' Oday and the amount of systems on my loaded 323 was very intimidating at first. I have been plugging away and it is not so bad when you takle it like eating an elephant........ one bite at a time. Make sure you check the base of the mast.

Welcome to the forum, Dick, and congratulations on your purchase.
You will find the 323 to be a boat with a very "seakindly" behavior.
We've had ours for 3 1/2 years and love it. It's a great crusing boat
for a couple.

the Pearson 323 really looks a lot nicer without the "bandit stripe" on the cabin Nice looking boat

Congratulations! When I got Selene, she was a lot more boat than I had also, but very quickly builds confidence and will soon feel just right. The P323 are solid, seakindly, well-built and well designed boats, and well worth the effort you are putting in. And the work you are putting in is a great way of familiarising yourself with the vessel and her systems! Good luck, and keep us posted.

Welcome aboard!
I won't bother to echo the other sailors here other than: "Right boat, right community forum!"
