Pearson Ensign

Does nyone know if there is a scale model of the Pearson Ensign?

 

[Bob Cleek]

Not as kit, as far as I know. I'm sure somebody has made, or had made, a model of their own boat, though. They were solid, popular boats in their day.

Thanks Bob! I have an 80-year-old friend who sails one almost everyday. Want to build him one a gift.

On the Pearson website (https://www.pearsonyachts.org/models/pearson-ensign.html) you'll find some drawings (not lines unfortunately) and specifications. Those plus the many photos available online should give you enough to make a reasonable model. Even better if you can sneak some measurements of your friend's boat. Consider a half hull model as a gift: easier to display and collects less dust. Fair winds!

There is a full set of plans listed here, but they don't list a price, only a contact email. That would be a good place to start.
