Notes

The PEARSON 26 was one of the company's most successful models. A number of changes were made during a very long production run.
The PEARSON 26 WEEKENDER (or PEARSON 26W) has a longer cockpit and shorter coach roof.
With a few very rare exceptions, all PERSON 26's have outboard wells and rely on an outboard motor for auxiliary power.
Some boats were built at League City, TX (USA).
