We like going one size over what is often recommended for smaller boats. The advantages are a.Less stretch. Nylon can be too stretchy, but polyester not stretchy enough. One size over can be a Goldilocks answer. b.Better wear resistance. Because we like using short chain when hand-hauling, we cover the first 10 feet with a webbing chafe guard. This is very cut resistant, because unlike the rope inside, it is floating and not under tension. c. Better grip. ⅜-in. is pretty hard to grab with the wind is up. ½-in. fits our hands better.

Pearson Renegade

This late 70’s racer/cruiser, designed by bill shaw, was pearson’s first boat with a split underbody. though a bit small for family cruising, she sails smartly..

The cat is finally out of the bag. Few owners of the Pearson Renegade know that, if it weren’t for a band of anxious Pearson employees, designer Bill Shaw’s then-latest creation would have been called the “Rogue.” The name, they were to discover on the eve of the 1967 New York Boat Show, had already been registered by another boatbuilder, and they needed a substitute—fast—that wouldn’t involve remaking the mainsail’s logo “R.”

After the group had exhausted every other conceivable alliteration for a breakthrough design (which this boat was), they hit upon the name Renegade. That was fine with everyone at Pearson, because no one was particularly enamored with Rogue anyway. Whether it was the name, the boat’s snappy looks or its radical underbody, boat show orders, in 1967, came in like the first pizza joint to open in Hoboken. The Renegade was not only an advanced design; at $7,800, it was priced right.

Said Shaw, “Before we walked into that show, I challenged our sales department to come up with 100 orders and they came back with 135. We knew we had a winner.”

Renegade production ran from 1967 to 1970 in Pearson’s Portsmouth, Rhode Island plant, during which time 170 boats were built. And many of them—a testament to their sturdy construction—are still sailing today.

Design Like each model Pearson before, the Renegade was designed to fill a specific void in the marketplace. It was Pearson’s first boat to incorporate a split underbody, with a spade rudder and fin keel. The boat was beautifully balanced, nimble under sail, and extremely maneuverable under power (except in reverse; still, it was far more maneuverable when backing than full-keel designs of the time).

Before coming to Pearson, Shaw had worked for Sparkman & Stephens. At Pearson for 27 years, until the company closed in 1990, he not only was responsible for the design work, but also engineering. For 25 of those years, he also ran the company. Shaw does not claim credit for the split underbody concept, noting Bill Lapworth’s runaway success on the West Coast with a similar underbody in his Cal designs, particularly the Cal 40.

The Renegade is a masthead rig with—as was typical in its day—a fairly low-aspect mainsail with a 28′ luff and 12′ 6″ foot. The long boom, however, was a people-sweeper in a jibe, and several owners we talked to have shortened the mainsail and raised the boom not only for safety but to accommodate installation of dodgers and Biminis.

Construction The Renegade’s hull is a solid, uncored laminate of mat and woven roving that is quite thick for a boat of this size. The deck is cored with end-grain balsa, and the cockpit coamings are teak (mahogany in later models) with molded fiberglass winch islands that double as coaming storage compartments. The deck and cockpit sole have molded-in nonskid.

The hull/deck joint is an inward-turned flange with a teak cap-rail. In several boats we inspected, a portion of the hull/deck flange had been crushed, apparently from repeated impacts with dock pilings. It would have been wise, we think, to have incorporated a sturdy rubrail.

There is a large lazarette aft (to house an outboard engine, if that, rather than inboard power, was the original owner’s choice) plus generous port and starboard sail lockers. The cockpit has a raised bridgedeck and is self-bailing with two sizable scuppers. The deck also has two large scuppers and there are two small drains forward on the cockpit seats, which, because of their limited size, often become plugged. Another complaint, voiced repeatedly by owners, is crazing of the hull’s gelcoat. Shaw noted that during the 1960’s, gelcoats were not as flexible as they are today.

Tankage includes a 20-gallon freshwater tank located under the V-berth, which requires some contortions to get to the fill spout, and, in the inboard-engine version, a 16-gallon Monel fuel tank under the cockpit with fill access via a fill pipe in the cockpit sole.

The hardware quality is good—chrome-plated brass or bronze, stainless steel and high-grade aluminum alloy. The chocks and cleats are of generous size.

There are four large fixed portlights, the same seen on other Pearsons of that era, including the Vanguard and Rhodes 41, and four small portlights—two opening, two fixed. The mast and boom are anodized aluminum. The original spreaders are spruce.

The Renegade came equipped with mainsail roller reefing, common in its day but easily converted to more efficient jiffy reefing.

The keel, molded as an integral part of the hull, houses a 2,100-lb. lead casting.

Most everything about the Renegade—mast, chainplates, standing rigging, turnbuckles and deck hardware—is, by today’s standards and for a boat its size, oversized. The forestay and backstay, for example, are a hefty 7/32″ and the shrouds (uppers plus forward and aft lowers) are 3/16″.

Shaw told us, “We designed the rig using a safety factor of three. First, we’d calculate the maximum load on a particular piece of rigging, then we’d triple that. Then we’d look for a size of wire rope that had that breaking strength. All attachments, such as the tangs on the mast and chainplates, were designed with a safety factor of four. It might sound like overkill, but we never knew the exact loads the boat would experience, so we tried to be conservative. It was also the way Rod and Olin [Stephens] designed boats, and they never had a single failure.”

Cockpit The cockpit is 6′ 4″ long and averages 5′ 5″ in width, with room enough for three persons on each side and a raised bridgedeck for another. The bridgedeck is also a good safety feature, as it helps prevent water from pouring below should the cockpit be pooped.

Although owners we talked to praised the cockpit for its openness and ease of handling the tiller, they felt the positioning of the engine controls could be improved. Mounted on the side of the cockpit footwell under the starboard seat, it’s often necessary to move the crew to get to them, and when the crew does move, it’s easy for an errant foot to kick the throttle lever.

Another bit of Monday morning quarterbacking by one owner would have placed the mainsheet traveler on the bridgedeck, rather than on the afterdeck, which would have made it more accessible to the helmsman.

Another gripe, not shared by all, concerns the cockpit coamings—high enough forward for ample back support when steering, but too low aft, especially for the helmsman with pedestal wheel steering, a common retrofit.

Interior The original Renegade had a traditional port/starboard-settee configuration with the galley aft to port, and forward, a head and V-berth. In the boat’s second year, 1968, the interior was changed to a dinette to port (seating four, but not very comfortably) and quarter-berth and galley to starboard. Although the repositioned galley does have the advantage of providing more counter space, the trade-off was a narrower passageway when going forward. The dinette idea, said Shaw, came about when Pearson dealers, attuned to the wish-lists of prospective customers, asked for it. We prefer the dual-settee setup, not only because it makes for easier passage below, but because the width of the dinette/double bunk makes it impractical as a sea berth. One feature lacking in the settee version, however, is backrests, which many owners have installed.

The bulkheads are mahogany with varnished trim. Hull sides are painted fiberglass (vinyl-covered in 1968 and later models) and the headliner is fiberglass. The galley counter, with room for a portable stove, is Formica. In earlier, dual-settee models, the enclosed head is accessible from the main cabin; in later dinette models, the head is accessible from both the main and forward cabin.

Stowage space, as in the cockpit, is ample, with four built-in drawers under the settees and V-berth and plenty of room under the settees. Some owners have retrofitted overhead shelves for easier access to books, nav tools and other gear.

The Renegade’s commodious ice chest gets high marks from all owners. Said one, “It’s great. It keeps things cold for an extended period of time.” Said another, “With four blocks of ice, it keeps food for five days.”

The same superlatives can’t be leveled at the head, which most owners lamented as “cramped” (not surprising for a boat with a 21′ waterline). In the original (1967) version, a small swing-down wash basin was installed. Most owners have removed it to gain additional space.

Tall people will find the Renegade’s headroom inadequate. Although there’s ample overhead height for a six-footer in the aft part of the cabin, one must duck when moving forward of the main bulkhead. On the other hand, the V-berth is large enough for a tall couple. “As big as a bloody double bed,” said one owner. Most have added an insert in the V.

Auxiliary Power The Renegade was available with an inboard or outboard engine. The outboard is mounted on an inner transom in the lazarette. The inboard version came with a 30-hp. Universal Atomic Four. Any Atomic Four that has survived since 1967-70 will have about seen its last days, so if it hasn’t been recently rebuilt—or replaced with a diesel—it soon should be.

Access to the inboard, compared with other boats of the same vintage, is good. To tend to the fuel line or carburetor, you need only open a door beneath the galley counter. To replace or tend to spark plugs, the entry ladder is removed to reveal a second access door. For major work—oil changes, ignition tuning, stuffing box maintenance—the ladder and bulkhead to which it is attached are removed.

Performance Comments we heard from owners were unanimous in their praise for the Renegade’s performance: “Best boat my know-it-all sailing friends have ever sailed.” “Turns on a dime.” “Forgiving of mistakes, easy to maneuver.” “Keeps up with bigger boats, tack for tack.”

Bill Shaw said, “What made the Renegade such a wonderful boat was its perfect balance between cruisability and its get-up-and-go. Its fin keel and spade rudder gave it beautiful sailing balance and tremendous maneuverability, enabling it not only to turn in its own length but beat circles around long-keel boats. Its split underbody also reduced the hull’s wetted surface, which enhanced its performance in light air. And it was a big help in backing. Here, finally, was a boat that responded in reverse the way you hoped it would.”

The Renegade has a comfortable motion in a seaway, sails with a fair turn of speed on any point of sail (except downwind), goes best in 8-15 knots of wind and 15°-20° of heel, and should be reefed when the wind approaches 18-20 knots. She also tends (owing to her low freeboard) to be a wet ride when the chop is up. With her relatively narrow, hour glass hull, the Renegade is a tender boat with low initial stability that will heel in even light air. But when it blows and she rolls to 35° or more, her ultimate stability kicks in and you feel safe in knowing she’ll snap right back. It’s a secure, no-panic feeling that one owner described as “non-threatening tender, unlike the oh-no-here-we-go, rail-burying tippiness of other boats I’ve sailed.”

Conclusion First boat or last, this is a boat any sailor will enjoy. She is easy to single-hand (easier yet if you lead all sail controls aft to the cockpit), forgiving, maneuverable as a dinghy, as pretty and salty-looking as you’ll find. Most owners have upgraded their boats in a variety of ways, so it will be tough to find a no-frills, unimproved edition. If you do, expect to pay $9,500-$11,000, although we have seen some as low as $3,500-$4,000 with major work needed, and as high as $14,500 for one thoroughly restored. Either way, the Renegade represents an excellent buy.

Boat: Pearson Renegade 27'	YSM12 inboard, Tiller, extra and a . plan to with some new . I have read a bit about Patrick Childress's singlehanded circumavigation in a 27 (albeit reinforced). i imagine that a renegade, particularly one with a fresh , should be able to make the journey. i admit i have not been able find any information about anyone making any travels of any length in one of these and was wondering if they have some inherent weakness that makes them incapable of making such a journey. Also i know a triton would probably be a better choice but i have what i have and am itching to get the ball rolling. that being said i don't actually know how to sail yet, and will be applying for at the convair yacht club in ca. i think i might be at least a year off before i can begin a circumnav. Any opinions?

Boat: Pearson 36-1	, and boom are great quality. I had to replace the toe rails, they were oversanded and the mounting screws were having silicone failure, but after 35 years, that is to be expected. Granted there isn't a lot of or water , but if you can find a place to store extra fuel bladders or cans and install a , those problems would be mooted. My P26 had a spade rudder with an post that had so bad that when Pearson was still in business, they would offer replacement rudders with posts. The Renegade's rudder post should be checked. As far as the bronze fittings failing, all my Wilcox/Crittenden bronze seacocks are in perfect condition and seacocks in that quality aren't made anymore. I am sure I have spent more on the renovations and upgrades than I paid for the boat, but she got me across the Atlantic from NY to The and I put the boat through a Post-Construction Assessment in The and now the boat is better for than when she was built and is RCD rated catagory "A". IMO, renovating an older boat is not the cheapest way to go, but one can up with a very strong, modernized sailboat. ...and P-36s are fast.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet

Pearson Renegade

Add to quote

Someone PM's me in regard to a Pearson Renegade they are going to look at today. I am unable to repond directly to PM's since I have not posted enough on this forum. Renegades are very solid boats. Most of what you need to look for is cosmetic. Gelcoat spiderwebbing on the coach roof is common. Old rudder shafts develop a lot of play. Check all installed gear, batteries, motor, sails, head and rigging. My Renegade had minor gelcoat blistering. Water in teh rudder could be a problem, but it it hard to check for unless you take it out. (it is a foam filled fiberglass. These boas sail very well, obvioulsy not very light or with as much beam as newer boats. Nice boat for two. With a boat of that age it will all depend on the attention and effort of the previous owner.

You should have enough posts now to reply to any PM's people send you. I'm a little bit confused about the name "Renegade" as a Pearson model 27 footer. If I search for "Pearson Renegade" I find a 27' sailboat like this: 1969 Pearson Renegade Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com If I search for Pearson boats on sailboatdata.com I find a 27 footer that is also referred to as a Triton: PEARSON 27 (TRITON 27) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com but this boat (the Triton) was first built in 1988. Are the earlier Pearson 27's known as Renegades while after 1988 they were Tritons? It seems to me that sailboatdata.com is missing a record for this 27 footer made by Pearson.

Still can't PM. It tells me I need 15 posts. Oringinal Triton was 29 feet, design by ALberg. Shaw designed the Renegade. It is on sailboatdata, just input renegade. Not sure of 27 ft Triton. The link you sent is indeed a Pearson Renegade.

Triton is 28'. There are 3 28' Pearsons, the Triton, 28-1, and 28-2. The first one is an Alberg boat, the other two are Bill Shaw. For some reason Pearson rounds down on lengths instead of up, so these are all called 28' boats even though the 28-2 is 28'6" and rounds up to 29' by anyone else's math. Triton predates the Renegade. Triton: TRITON (PEARSON) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com Renegade: RENEGADE 27 (PEARSON) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com There are many more Tritons than Renegades in the world. They don't seem to have much in common to me besides being made by the same company. alex

The Renegades are a split underbody with balanced spade rudder with a lot less weight versus full keel Triton, but still very solid.

Practical Sailor had a 4/5 page write up on the Renegade in their Practical Boat Buying series Vol. #1. Can fax or possibly email to any interested party ...maybe Mongo's orginal sailnetter, and maybe Mongo will reach 15th post.

I am working on 15. More posts today than in the last year. I also have a copy of that review.

I am the mystery PM-er. Thanks Mongo. Saw the Renegade this morning. Spent about an hour alone on board. Loved the overall picture in terms of size, layout, etc. It would fit the need well. I have made a list of what I would need to do to the boat and will crunch numbers. The admiral thought there was too much work to do but I suppose it is always hard for the ladies to look past what presented as pretty grimey, run-down condition. I looked carefully at the basics - mast step (compression beam solidly in place with no signs of rot or cracking) hull to cabin joint, and chain plates, and deck. All looked good to me. At this point she is not supportive of my making an offer but I shall give her time.

Thanks for clarifying for me these various Pearson models. I have always liked the older Pearsons. I'm sure it is because they remind me of my own old 1967 Tartan 27', the way they look. The T27 has the full keel like the Triton but the length (+/-) of the Renegade.
