with a list of items their new boat should include. The boat
would beach and launch easily while avoiding getting stuck
in the soft sand. The Sea Pearl needed leeboards rather than
a centerboard and a kick-up rudder for the Gulfs shallow wa-
ters. Eliminating the centerboard meant no trunk; that in turn
opened the forward cockpit, making it an excellent family
seating area or even a cabin for overnighting. With the op-
tional cabin top or bimini top it also made a great place to
get out of the rain. It also had to be light enough that it could
be towed by anything economically (small four cylinder ve-
hicles included). And nally, they also wanted the vessel to
be light enough to be pushed along at a decent rate with a
small light outboard or rowed if necessary.
The duo started with the hull of a Herreshoff designed
18 foot tender. Johnson added to the design by increasing
the length, and rigging it with twin masts and what ended
up as an unstayed cat-ketch rig. Many other changes came
throughout the years and the end result is todays Sea Pearl.
Jim Leet, Rons brother-in-law, bought the business from
Ron and has further improved the classic-looking performer
over the past decade and a half.
Sea Pearls can be custom built in three different cong-
urations; a mono-hull, the Sea Pearl Tri and the Tri-Sport.
The hull is hand laid berglass cloth over Corecell with no Jim Leet in front of a recently
