1981 Pearson 367 Dealer listing

The Pearson 367, also known as the Pearson 36 Cutter, is a proven offshore-capable cruiser designed as an evolution of the successful Pearson 365. With a cutter rig, higher sail plan, and a ballast-to-displacement ratio near 40%, it delivers a stable, predictable ride and strong performance across a wide range of conditions. Owners of this sought-after model value it for its ability to track well, carry momentum through chop, and make steady progress to weather.

Her hull combines classic lines with practical performance. The fin keel and skeg-hung rudder provide improved maneuverability and pointing ability compared to traditional full-keel designs, while the solid fiberglass hull with encapsulated lead ballast eliminates concerns over keel bolts. With a 30-foot waterline and moderate draft, the 367 offers respectable cruising speeds without sacrificing access to shallower anchorages.

What makes this boat stand out is how much it offers for the size and price. The 367 has long been a favorite among couples and small families looking for a capable cruiser with a “big boat” feel, generous storage, and manageable systems. It is a platform that can be sailed comfortably by two people while still supporting extended time aboard.

Below decks, the layout is practical and comfortable for real use. The main salon and galley are open and functional, allowing for cooking, navigation, and living without feeling cramped. A foldaway dining table maximizes usable space. Forward, the V-berth stateroom is spacious for this class, and the head includes a separate stand-up shower, a rare feature in a boat of this size and era. The interior is finished in well-maintained teak, giving a warm, traditional feel.

“Silver Wings” has been consistently upgraded and actively cruised by her current owners since 2014. Over that time, she has received meaningful system improvements that reduce the typical refit burden for the next owner, including in-boom furling mainsail, lithium batteries, solar, updated electronics, autopilot, watermaker, and charging systems. This is not a project boat. It is a functional cruising platform that has already been brought up to a modern, practical standard.

This particular vessel has proven her capability, with owners doing extensive cruising from the Pacific Northwest to Mexico, and continues to be used regularly (as boats should be). Silver Wings is sailed most of every year (7-9 months) and properly stored on the hard during off-seasons, reflecting a pattern of consistent use and care by experienced owners.

With limited production numbers and a strong owner community, the Pearson 367 has a passionate reputation as a durable, capable cruiser that bridges the gap between heavier traditional designs and more modern performance boats. For buyers looking to sail bluewater without taking on a major refit, this is a compelling option.

Located in Sea of Cortez, this is a ready-to-go cruiser in one of the best sailing areas in Mexico. If your goal is to start cruising now without overspending, Silver Wings is worth serious consideration.

// Accommodations

Entering through the companionway, you step directly into the main living space. The interior features teak and varnished mahogany, accented with ash trim, creating a warm and traditional feel that has been well maintained.

To port is a functional U-shaped galley designed for use underway. It includes a two-burner gimballed propane stove and oven with safety rail, a double stainless steel sink, and a custom top-loading refrigerator with a separate freezer. Storage is extensive, with large lockers and dedicated overhead cabinetry for dishes and cookware.

Opposite the galley to starboard is a proper navigation station. The chart table offers enough surface area for paper navigation and lifts to reveal additional storage below. A two-position swing-out seat and space for instruments make this a practical working area for passagemaking.

Forward is the main salon, arranged for both comfort and utility. The settees are long and deep, with the starboard settee converting into a double berth. A foldaway drop-leaf table provides dining space when needed and stows cleanly to open the area. Storage is generous throughout, with cabinetry and compartments suited for extended cruising.

The head is located forward to starboard and stands out for its size and layout. It features a separate stand-up shower stall with a molded seat, a vanity with mirror, a built-in laundry hamper, and ample storage. This is a rare level of comfort in a boat of this size and vintage.

All the way forward, the V-berth serves as the owner’s stateroom. It offers a comfortable sleeping area with good privacy, along with built-in drawers, lockers, and outboard shelving. Owners have set up custom stowage space below the V-berth. A cedar-lined hanging locker supports longer stays aboard, and the V-berth insert stows neatly overhead when not in use.
