Optional tent cabin and rear bimini rigged. There is a forward bimini available too, as well as mast/sail covers (socks), tiller sock (standard), tonneau cover for forward cockpit (standard), and a complete boat cover for storage. Sails are available in a variety of colors and may be had with UV-protection leech panels. |
 |
|||
| Optional anchoring kit (bronze bow chock & hawse pipe, 11 lb. claw anchor, 150 ft. anchor line/10 ft. 1/4 ' galvanized chain), teak deck-protection board. |  |
|||
| Standard anchor (part of the optional anchor kit) is an 11-pound 'claw' anchor that overhangs the bow in a bronze bow chock launcher. The anchor and heavy bow chock also serve to protect the bow in collisions with docks, etc. |  |
|||
| Optional aft bimini sets up and folds down in seconds. |  |
|||
The optional tent cabin with one of the side panels folded up to permit a view of the interior. Tent cabin folds forward when not in use and stores with its own cover. Setup is just pulling it up ito position and snapping the rear straps, then snapping down all the snaps around the sides. Takes about two minutes. The boat may be sailed with the tent cabin up, as the main boom clears it. Tent cabin has side, rear and front windows, bug screens and separate doors front and aft. |
 |
|||
| Interior of the main cockpit with tent cabin erected. Wide enough for a standard air mattress. This is the monohull or tri-sport hull/deck arrangement. the Sea Pearl Tri has a wider main cockpit. Three wooden floorboards cover a bilge/storage area between the ballast tanks. |  |
|||
 |
Optional tent cabin folded down at forward part of forward hatch. The frame is still attached at the sides and the tent can be erected in moments by unzipping and removing the protective bag and pulling the tent back and up. (Tent may also be stowed directly below where you see it now.) |  |
||
 |
Rear of tent cabin. Side of tent cabin (bow is to the right in photo). Windows on the sides are heavy-gauge pliable plastic. Front and back have canvas doors and no-se-um-quality screening. Cover and screen doors may be opened indepentently of one another. |
 |
||
| Standard tonneau cover. Canvas snaps all around, a teak support stick runs fore-and-aft and into fittings to give the positive camber. |  |
|||
| Optional seat back in place. |  |
|||
 |
Rear of seat back showing storage box.—> <—Seat back removed, showing permanent guides attached to boat interior. |
 |

| Compass on mount at forward edge of rear cockpit. Detaches for taking hand-compass bearings. Compass may be had with or without sef-illumination. |  |

Here's a new Sea Pearl under construction, almost finished out. Note the "bullwinkles" on the mast tubes. (Named for the moose in the old TV cartoon show "Rocky and Bullwinkle" these cap off the mast tubes and hold the masts horizontally for trailering. And look—sort of—like wood antlers.) This boat also has been rigged with rowlocks, one of which may be seen on the starboard rail. |

The water ballast tanks are a great feature. Photo at right shows the access cover removed, the through-hull fitting inside, and the plug for the throuogh-hull. |  |
||
| Inside, looking toward the bow. Ballast tanks at lower left and right, wood floorboards removed in this shot to show the bilge/storage area. This boat has oars installed, suspended by Velcro strips above the fiddleboard side racks. Note the drain plug forward and, beyond it, the mainmast tube. |  |
|||
| Closeup of the drain plug and through-hull. This permits cleaning the interior by lowering the front of the trailer and hosing the boat out. The mainmast tube is visible as well, and some of the anchor rode that piles up in front of the mast tube. |  |
|||
 |
Inside, looking toward the stern. Ballast tanks left and right below and fiddleracks left and right above, and oars suspended above fiddleracks. Mizzen mast tube is between two additional storage areas, and under the entire rear cockpit is yet another large storage area. |  |
||
| Two-speed winch is larger and requires modification of the trailer winch-bed. But handy if you are feeling tired. A special-order item. |  |
