The New Pearson Wanderer

In the beginning Naval Architect Wilbur "Bill" Shaw came to Pearson from the design shop of Sparkman and Stephens, albeit with a slight detour. So one can probably assume that there may be something of their outstandingly successful custom design, "Finisterre." Contrruction of the Wanderer began in 1965 and continued on for almost a decade, with a total of 177 built.

The interior layouts varied in the earlier boats. The factory seemed to standardize on the starboard galley layout for most of the boats up to hull #116, our boat.

Extra:	When the boat suffered major cosmetic damage on SuperBowl Sunday 2004, we knew that this was the boat we wanted to keep and restore, rather than replacing it with something else. We're glad we did. This is the story of how we acquired Canto in 1998 and what we have done with her and to her since [...] then. More
