Owning Pelican is like owning a little piece of history; a fascinating
article on the history of Pearson yachts (who built the first production
fiberglass boats beginning in the late 1950s) can be found at

Pelican has a custom interior; she previously had the dinette/galley to starboard layout, but one of her owners did a marvelous job enlarging the galley, installing a useable nav station/dining area and adding more storage. Here are a few photos (hover mouse over for description, click to enlarge).
