Pearson 43: Sojourner
Perfectly maintained, Sojourner is a lovely, classic sailing yacht. The Pearson 43 was designed
and introduced in 1968 by William Shaw as a replacement for Pearson’s then Rhodes 41.
Originally intended as a large offshore racer, this exceptional design has retained its popularity
because of its good deep-sea keeping characteristics and excellent accommodations.
Sojourner’s current owner has upgraded her systems and made modifications to both her
deck and her spacious interior.
