About the PEARSON 27 (TRITON 27)
This version of the PEARSON 27 is the same as the TRITON 27 and similar to the earlier US 27 by US Yachts. In 1984-85 Pearson sold a line of sailboats that it called the Tritons. The molds for these yachts were actually purchased from US Yachts, a division of Bayliner Inc. (the Buccaneer series of sailboats). All are distantly related to the CHASER 29, an IOR 1/2 ton design by Doug Peterson (1975).
