Electric Boats and Indoor Rendezvous

2 Comments »

Warren, RI. Pearson Composites opened the factory doors Saturday to clients for the 2nd annual 2010 Mid- Winter Rendezvous. There was food, prizes and lots of information for the interested.

The Alerion’s and True North’s were featured as finished products and in various stages of construction giving visitors an under the hood peak. The first Electric Alerion Express 33 (pictured) was on display and is midway through a Mastervolt E-Propulsion installation. The 48 volt system is going to produce a top speed of 8 knots and deliver a cruising speed of 5 knots with a run time of 2.7 hours.

Seminars were a big part of the program and included:

Today’s Electronics
Sailing fast in your Alerion
Rig Tuning
Diesel Engines – What up need to know
Green Marine Propulsion
Alerion / True North Maintenance
Pearson Precision Tooling Demo
Scrimp Process Demo

And there are new products coming! Pearson was showing off their new North Rip 21 and the soon to start up (New) Pearson Sailboat Line. We saw the North Rip in Boston and its nice! Look for these to start showing up on the water.

Mr. Hamel,

I am happy to hear that you are interested in the new line of Pearson Sailboats. The idea of the Pearson Sailboat line is to build a good cruising boat that is still fun to sail. We are doing some good things with the sailing set up of the boat to make it easy to sail short handed, and adding a fun and practical transom tail gate to make it easy in and out of the boat from the water, dingy, or dock.

I would be happy to get you more information on any of the models that you may be interested in. Please feel free to reach me at Pearson Composites directly.

Sincerely,

Mark Dauplaise
