The Pearson Yachts-USA Triton is a 8.6-meter fractional sloop with a long keel, designed by Carl Alberg and built by Pearson Yachts-USA, Jouet-France, and Aeromarine from 1958 to 1967. It was Pearson Yachts' first non-dinghy boat and one of its most successful models. Pearson versions featured wood trim and coamings, while Aeromarine Tritons were all fiberglass and had a masthead rig; a yawl rig option was also available on Pearson versions. Golden Globe Race skipper Elliott Smith previously cruised a Pearson Triton, noting its suitability for cruising before transitioning to a Gale Force 34 for racing.6:19 Aboard *Atom Voyager*, a Pearson Triton completed a 1,200-nautical-mile nonstop passage from Agadir, Morocco, to Mindelo, Cape Verde, in approximately eight days, sailing downwind wing on wing in strong northeast trades.2:25 This passage highlighted maintenance issues such as chafe on the furling jib and halyard, a broken furler drum flange, a cracked Monitor windvane rudder latch, and chafed whisker pole control lines.19:57 The crew of *Sailing Uma* is refitting their 36-foot Pearson Triton for high-latitude sailing, having completed major construction and now focusing on deck hardware and electrical routing.9:34
