36' Pearson 365

Go small, go simple, but go! - Larry & Lynn Pardy
If you are a cost-conscious cruiser looking for lower maintenance cruising, my 365 would be the boat you need.
This past December I will have owned, lived aboard, and sailed Tethys for 20 years (almost 12 years in the Caribbean). Ive spent the last 3 hurricane seasons in Grenada and just sailed Tethys up from Grenada to Miami, arriving December 11, 2024.
When I got the boat, the previous owners had set Tethys up with simple, mostly manual systems, the idea being to save the money and make cruising less problematic. Ive kept it that way. Though semiretired, I still work on boats (have for 29 years) and I find that new boats have more issues than this older boat does. Less systems to go wrong!
The vessel is registered as an Antique Vessel in Florida, and enjoys the benefits of the status!
(Note: I will be taking all my personal things, tools, etc with me)
