Sails and Canvas / Re: Cockpit cushions for 1986 Pearson 28-2

« on: March 12, 2019, 11:45:53 AM »

Michael, I have a complete extra set. They were original factory cushions . Most of them are in very good shape. Two of them could use some work. If you are interested, you can have them. FOB central North Carolina.

Mission accomplished!  I replaced my wrecked 1986 Pearson 28-2 with a twin 1986. Hull #69 is replaced with Hull # 80.

Thanks . I had skipped over that one because of the distance. I'm in North Carolina. I have all ready looked at one on my coast. I'm going to the Eastern Shore to see one next week. I was hoping that there might be someone here that was on the fence about moving on from their boat?

Mast and Spar Issues / Re: need a replacement mast

Thank you. That's a good resource. It looks like my 28-2 is headed to the scrap heap though. If I can't find a matching used mast, it's just practical to resurrect her. That really is a shame. It was a one owner boat and always stayed in fresh water at Lake Norman,NC.

Mast and Spar Issues / need a replacement mast P28-2

« on: May 03, 2018, 11:44:50 AM »

I need to replace the mast on my P85-2. It is an Isomat NG37 spar. I have found an older, 1970's p28, that may be scrapped soon. Does anyone know if that boat used the same mast as the newer P28-2?

Thanks Edith. I appreciate your sympathy.  I'm sure other boats used the same spar extrusion as the 28-2. I have not been able to find out which ones though. It is an Isomat spar #NG 37. I'm sure Rigrite knows the applications, but they have not bothered to respond to my inquiries. Any other ideas would be welcome.

I bought a Pearson 28-2 three weeks ago, 1986 . This is a one owner boat kept in one freshwater lake all her life. I had another lake in mind . So I had it hauled out and shipped. It was only 30 miles from the destination when the driver had to hit the brakes. The boat slid forward into his truck and crushed his trailer. It also crushed the mast. There is also a hole in the hull, above the waterline and some rudder damage. I guess she didn't want to leave home.
I would still like get her back into the water. Fiberglass can be fixed by the right boatyard. But the mast is gone. Is there a market place for used spars? I could sure use some help and advice!
