The Pearson Yachts 40 is a 1979–1981 William H. Shaw-designed masthead sloop, built by Pearson Yachts as a racer-cruiser. It measures 12.2 meters LOA with a 3.8-meter beam and a 2.9-meter draft, displacing 10,341 kg. Aboard *keeldragger*, the 1982 Pearson 40 SV Marbella, hull 67 of 71 built, features a swing keel that extends to 9.4 feet for upwind performance and retracts to just over four feet for shoal-water access in areas like the Sea of Cortez, the Bahamas, and Florida.7:01 The flush deck design maximizes interior volume and provides clear foredeck space for dinghy stowage.6:41 SV Marbella carries a three-year-old main with three reef points, a 130% Genoa on a furler, and a mast-mounted whisker pole for wing-on-wing sailing.4:50 A hydraulic boom vang and backstay allow sail-shape adjustments from the cockpit.5:58 Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine radar with chartplotter, an older Garmin GPS, and an iPad running Navionics, receiving AIS via a Wi-Fi router.14:41 The boat has a 50-gallon fuel capacity and 100 gallons of water, with the engine burning 0.6–0.7 gallons per hour.10:23 The engine is reversed in the bilge, making impeller access difficult.28:33 Aboard *keeldragger*, the crew sailed SV Marbella from Mazatlan across the Sea of Cortez to La Paz, encountering light winds and GPS spoofing incidents, which they countered by logging position, heading, and speed every two hours.8:45
