To keep myself occupied while I gather the necessary equipment to jump into my Robbe Topkapi I had the great luck to win this half hull in an auction in Rhode Island and plan on restoring it. It's an old yacht showroom sales demo (note the hook eye), but with a nice history. It's a Pearson Triton 28 designed by legendary designer Carl Alberg in 1958 for the (now defunct) Pearson Yachts (Portsmouth, RI) and was one of the earliest (if not the first) commercially available mass produced fiberglass sailboats. Jouet in France licensed the design for European sales. Over 700 were built up until 1968.
I am going to clean it up, copy the lines, and mount it on a plaque. I have a fascination with half hulls. Down the road I am going to build a cutaway off the lines with an interior. Add it to the list!

Hi Roy!
The Pearson Triton 28 is a single chine and classified as a "fractional sloop." And your Goosander is beautiful and a gorgeous build! 😊

Great looking craft. As a suggestion build a scale size of the half hull and RC it? Cheers Ian

Here’s another I have at home. A lovely piece of a Baltic 35. Very pleasing lines. 😊

Hi I agree lovely looking yacht. My working model is from a self build (full size in wood) design called Goosander.
The very first yacht I drew my own plans for from a 6x4 picture in Yachting Monthly magazine over 50 years ago. Good luck with the project. We have similar tastes, my model is 27 inches loa. at 1 twelfth scale. Roy

Jumpugly, i too really like 1/2-hull models. Look fwd to seeing your interior. I was at a model train show recently, picked up a waterline model of a lobster boat. Very nicely weathered. Looks to be 1:20 or 1:22, so Garden-scale. Just needs a figure or two. Has lobster traps with floats.
