Big Project Announcement - Project Triton Ep1
In this video I introduce a big new project that I'm starting. I'm calling it: Project Triton.
This is part 1 of Project Triton, my journal of refitting a 1963 Pearson Triton sailboat for liveaboard and cruising.
The Pearson Triton was designed by Carl Alberg at the request for a 28-foot sailboat that sleeps four. It became one of the first fiberglass auxillary sailboats built in the United States. The Triton is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. The design was inspired by the lines of the traditional Scandinavian Folkboat. It has a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel.
The Triton 28 has made at least two circumnavigations and several other Atlantic and Pacific crossings.

Thanks. Yes, it was a busy time
Love the idea of a sailboat as a fair weather home! You know the usual advice .... before putting in a lot of time & effort (and resource$) on any major interior changes ... live on / in it for a few weeks. Things are usually the way they are for a reason.

Very true! There are a few interior changes that I will be making down the road to increase the space of the cabin and possibly a few others but the exterior is the priority for now
I hope you will remember sailing with me in Pike Bay. If you can sail in that bay you will know lots of do’s and don’t of sailing. I wish you all the Best with your project.

Hey Kevin, I do remember. That was a long time ago. I’ve wondered if I could get back there with my Triton but don’t think the water levels would allow it.

Hi Jason. You’re right about that side of Lake Huron. A drop keel would be a better option. When you get to Midland, let’s meet for lunch. Have a great trip.
Congratulations! I wish you great adventures in your new boat. It is beautiful!

Thanks so much!
How fantastic 👏👏. It looks the same size as the one my late husband and I had way back. We had so much fun on it, but the mast broke during a regatta 😏. Well done 👍.

an old timer said for those long drive, bring a board. when you get tired of sitting, sit on the board. when the board is getting hard to sit on, sit back on the seat. i didn't try it. crazy, maybe. may as well try it if you are up for it. time waits for no one.

OMG...you bought a boat. You really were bitten by the sailing bug. I did the same thing after taking my first sailing course, although I bought a local boat and didn't have to drive for a week...lol. Best of luck with your new sailboat. I am pretty confident you will have her in Bristol fashon before too long.

Thank you. Yes, I absolutely love sailing and think it’ll be a good addition to my life. It’ll take a bit of work to get the boat ready but I’m up for the challenge
Pretty cool. 🙂👍⛵

Congratulations! Interested to know if you hired a boat surveyor to do a complete inspection prior to the sale?

Thank you. No I didn’t have a survey before buying. I was trying to find a surveyor but they weren’t responding to my emails. I ended up having someone experienced go look for me and send a ton of photos and some video for me to see
Well done. Nice choice for a model
