Priced for a quick sale at $10,000 OBO, Lady Ann is a 1980 Pearson 365 Ketch looking for a captain ready to bring her back to her full potential. This is not a turnkey boat—she is a project vessel requiring system updates and cosmetic attention, priced accordingly to reflect her current needs. She has not been sailed in the past 2 years.

If you are a DIY sailor, a handyman, or looking for a heavily built classic liveaboard with fantastic "bones," this is a great opportunity.

Contact me with any questions or times that you want to view the boat at jasondobranic@hotmail.com

The most critical part of this boat is structural: The decks have no soft spots that I could find. For a Pearson of this era, finding a completely solid deck core is a massive head start on a refit project. The solid fiberglass hull and encapsulated lead ballast mean the structural foundation of this cruiser is rock solid.

Teak toerails have degraded in several spots and will need repairs.

Engine: Westerbeke 40 Diesel.

Condition: The engine was running well until the freshwater pump failed. A brand-new replacement pump has already been purchased and is included with the sale, but it has not been installed yet.

The electronics are dated and will need a complete overhaul/updating to meet modern cruising standards.

Most onboard plumbing, electrical, and secondary systems are original or older and should be systematically gone through, serviced, or updated by the new owner.

Rig: Ketch

LOA: 36’ 5”

LWL: 30’ 0”

Beam: 11’ 5”

Draft: 4’ 6” (Ideal for shallow Texas coastal waters and Bahamas cruising)

Displacement: 17,700 lbs

Ballast: 7,300 lbs (Encapsulated lead)

Bridge Clearance: 46' 0" (ICW Friendly)

Standing and running rigging are older and should be inspected.

Main, Mizzen, and Genoa sails are included in usable/serviceable project condition.

Features the classic, spacious Pearson 365 layout including a walkthrough galley, large main salon, V-berth forward, and the famous separate walkthrough shower stall. Perfect layout for a comfortable liveaboard once cleaned up. 

Selling strictly as-is, where-is. Buyer is responsible for any yard fees, towing, or slip arrangements post-sale. Title is clean and ready to transfer (USCG Certificate of Documentation).

Serious DIY buyers only. Please message to arrange a showing. We will be traveling out of the country for an extended period of time in the new year and have to let the boat go to a new owner. We will not be able to restore her or use sail in the foreseeable future.
