Lua is a 1977 Pearson 365 ketch in good condition. This classic fiberglass cruiser offers the robust construction and seakindly motion for which the Pearson 365 is known, combined with the versatile ketch sail plan that makes sail handling flexible and efficient for short-handed or offshore passages.
In 2020 Lua received a comprehensive refit of all major systems. The project included a topside repaint, a full engine rebuild, and systematic updates to the boat’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems to restore reliability and extend offshore capability. Work completed during the refit was executed with an emphasis on long-term serviceability and safe operation.
The Pearson 365’s layout is designed for comfortable extended cruising: a practical galley, an enclosed head, abundant storage and sleeping accommodations arranged to maximize privacy and living space below. The ketch rig provides a balanced helm and multiple reefing and sail combination options, which many cruisers prefer for passagemaking and heavy weather handling.
Lua is offered with a transferable slip in Carolina Beach, NC, providing immediate access to the water and a convenient base for local or extended voyages. She is available for inspection by appointment; prospective buyers are encouraged to review the full listing for detailed specifications, service history, photos and video documentation of the 2020 refit and current condition.
If you are seeking a well-maintained, system-upgraded Pearson 365 ketch with proven cruising attributes and a ready-to-sail platform, Lua merits a close look.
