The Pearson Yachts-USA Triton is a long-keel fractional sloop designed by Carl Alberg, built from 1958 to 1967, and was the first non-dinghy boat produced by Pearson Yachts. It measures 8.6 meters LOA, with a 2.5-meter beam, 1.2-meter draft, and 3143 kg displacement. Pearson built versions with wood trim and coamings, and offered a yawl rig option, while Aeromarine in Sausalito, CA, built 150 all-fiberglass versions, some with a masthead rig. Aboard *Atom Voyager*, a Pearson Triton completed a 1,200-nautical-mile passage from Agadir, Morocco, to Mindelo, Cape Verde, in approximately eight days, sailing at six-plus knots downwind in strong trades.4:09 During this passage, the Monitor windvane steered continuously, but the furling jib chafed, the furler drum's plastic flange broke, the jib halyard chafed, the Monitor windvane rudder latch cracked, and whisker pole control lines chafed.19:57 Golden Globe Race skipper Elliott Smith transitioned from cruising a Pearson Triton to racing a Gale Force 34, noting the difference in demands.
