Description

XITLALI is a 1987 Pearson 39-2 designed by William “Bill” Shaw and offered at an attractive entry price for a capable owner looking for a spacious, performance-oriented cruiser with substantial equipment already aboard.

The Pearson 39-2 is the second-generation Pearson 39 design, introduced in the mid-1980s with a focus on combining solid construction, good sailing performance, and a notably comfortable cruising interior.

Below decks, XITLALI offers the kind of interior volume that makes the Pearson 39-2 appealing for longer-term cruising.

She is currently stored on the hard in San Carlos and is being offered “as is, where is,” with the asking price firm. This makes her best suited to a hands-on sailor, refit-minded buyer, or someone looking for a well-equipped cruising platform at a comparatively low acquisition cost.
