The Pearson Yachts 424 KETCH is a 12.9-meter masthead ketch, designed by William H. Shaw and built by Pearson Yachts from 1981 to 1985.1:15 This heavy-displacement fiberglass cruiser, displacing 9525 kg, is known for its ocean-crossing capability and a hull featuring a fin with a skeg-hung rudder.2:25 It prioritizes stability and safety over speed, with a 34% ballast ratio and a 1.89 capsize screening formula.2:11 The 424 (aft cockpit) shares its hull with the 422 (center cockpit), both evolving from the Pearson 390 and 419.0:06 Below deck, the tri-cabin layout includes an aft cabin with a private head, a spacious saloon, and a forward V-berth.2:56 Many units originally had a Westerbeke 60 diesel, but owners frequently repower with Yanmar or Beta Marine engines.3:49 The ketch rig offers versatile sail handling, particularly for solo sailors, though the boat struggles with pointing ability when sailing to weather.7:04 Prospective buyers should inspect teak decks for leaks and core rot, as well as aging electrical and plumbing systems.5:13
