Notes: The Pearson 424 (aft cockpit) and 422 (center cockpit) have the same hull with a lead keel incased in fiberglass. At the aft end of the keel the fiberglass is about 3/4 inch thick. Above that is a deep sump. That is considered the weakness in the boat which many owners have had modified.\nAvailable as cutter or ketch.\nKETCH RIG:\nI(IG):\t 47.25' / 14.40m\nJ:\t 15.75' / 4.80m\nP:\t 40.00' / 12.19m\nE:\t 14.50' / 4.42m\nPY:\t 23.00' / 7.01m\nEY:\t 8.75' / 2.67m
