SONAR 23 - KURSE
Bruce Kirby designed the Pearson 26 to be exciting to race, but easy to handle by sailors of all ages, strengths and skill levels. A really good day sailor, spacious and comfortable to sit in all day long. Plus a safe, well behaved training boat to help teach new sailors how to sail and have fun doing it.
Kuršė (pronounced kurshie) is a study in serendipity. We acquired her and decide to give her a Lithuanian name. When registering her, I realized two things: one, she was Sonar hull #13; and two, most people would assume she was named "curse" misspelled. After many years in our fleet, she has proved to be uncursed and a lucky #13. Kuršė is a wonderfully responsive, yet forgiving, fun boat to sail.
Although Kuršė can sleep two, the cabin is more suited as a storage area, so she is available only for two to four hour daysails.
