Layout

Designed by William Shaw the classic Pearson 530 is an excellent platform for distance cruising. The center cockpit design offers great protection when offshore with wide side decks for moving about the boat with ease, an excellent configuration for short handed sailing.  Below decks provides a spacious salon with the nav station to port an and elegant settee to starboard. Forward features a mid cabin / utility room with washer and dryer leading up to the forward head large V-Berth with a large overhead hatch for dousing sails. Moving aft through the cabin the galley is found to starboard with deep refrigeration, propane stove & oven, microwave and double stainless steel sink, accented with LED lighting. The aft stateroom on the Pearson 530 is expansive with plenty of storage for extended cruising, queen island bed centerline, and private head complete with separate shower.  A very comfortable layout while underway or resting at anchor.
