1981 Pearson 53' Skipping Stone

The main salon has a traditional Nav Station on port with remote metering for, windgen, battery monitoring, charging and solar panels. There is a settee on port. Then two steps down into the passageway leading to the two forward staterooms and the forward head. In the bow is a V-Berth with filler to make an ample double berth. Just aft is the guest stateroom with over/under single berths.

On the starboard side of the salon is a huge dining table with ample seating for six+ on an L-Shaped settee. Continuing aft, you enter the starboard side galley featuring 110V Refrigeration, (Seafrost, new-ish compressor), copper lines, RFD, expansion valves, insulation and fiberglass bottom recently added to boxes. There is a newly installed 4-Burner gas stove with 2 sniffers, new gas lines and a new solenoid. Also there is a microwave, double sink and plenty of counter space to cook for charter or personal guests.

The 530 Pearson features large mid ship cockpit that seat six+ with all lines leading to the cockpit. "Skipping Stone" has wide side decks, a cambered foredeck and an aft deck with a hatch to the lazarette. There is a deck plate for the emergency tiller, stowed in the huge cockpit locker. The cockpit is protected by a good dodger and bimini. The guests and helmsman rarely get wet.
