Pearson Renegade

They were Pearson's first split underbody boat and were designed to Cruising Club of America racing rules.

They are also one of the first American "racer-cruiser" style boats that combine the comforts of a cruising boat with the advantage of a modified full keel with a spade rudder (see photo), like that of the Bill Lapworth Cal 40 designs that revolutionized ocean racing in the mid-late 1960s.

The deep balanced rudder allows a high degree of maneuverability, and the turning radius of the boat is very tight.

Both have a spacious V-berth over six feet long and were available with either a 30-HP Universal Atomic 4 gas inboard or an outboard well.

The cockpit can comfortably accommodate 4-6 people, and the boat can sleep 4 adults below decks.
