Boat Brochures
Boat Brochures
I was surfing the internet, looking for specifications of certain boats and I came along this website...
http://www.boatbrochure.com
Lots of brochures here. They even have a brochure for the Pearson Triton. Odd thing is that the brochure itself shows a Triton that looks awfully like the French version.
Unfortunately, its not free. Got to cough up $$. Price depends on condition, it seems.
Most brochures are for more recent designs but there are lots of 1960s design brochures there.
Just posting in case anyone are looking for brochures. I hope that anyone who does buy... scans and provide the scanned brochures for free...

Case, I have a copy of that same brochore. It is not a French boat. By the way,though there may have been a French built boat that also coined the name Triton, which I have never seen "confirmed" - whatever boat that may be shares little if anything in common with the Pearson or Areomarine Tritons and is not related in any direct mannor to y knowledge.

Case: Check out the Motgomery Sailboat Owners Group (MSOG) site for free brochures.
Also, if someone has one they don't have maybe you can share it with them.

Peter - Thanks for the Montgomery Sailboat Owner Group website for the brochures.
It doesn't have the brochures for many of the sailboats I am interested in, though.
Jollyboat - Interesting to learn that inside the brochure was the regular Triton. Its the styling of the large portlights that made me think of the French versions. I've seen pictures of the French version. Looks very different with the different deck and I think some had the topsides height increased. But the hull form, full keel shape and stern shaping is very, very similar - so similar that I am 99% sure it was based on the basic Triton hull then modified. Photographs are at the Triton MIR site.
I'm hoping somebody will be kind enough to buy the Allied Seabreeze and Luders brochure and scan them for everybody to enjoy..

Peter,
Thanks for that link - I found the original brochure for my Fatty Knees dinghy. I knew it was one of the pre-Edey-and-Duff models, but I never knew who made them before that. Turns out it was Hess Manufacturing in Ontario, California (makes sense with my HIN, too). I did buy the boat in California (used).

Looks like a Bristol RI boat to me. You may have seen the Pearson 28 brochure with the small outline drawing on the cover.
I was pretty sure Jouet built the Triton under license from Pearson but I couldn't find my source. Rumor has it they built about 100 of them but I only know of 3. Other sources definitely credit Carl Alberg with the design.
Phillipe on the Yahoo! Triton list maintains this French Triton site.

Mostly in french but there is some limited english translations and lots of pictures.

Re: Boat Brochures
I managed to stumble across scanned images of the original brochures for the Pearson Wanderer.
Then as I was thumbing through the big fat stack of papers that came with mine, I discovered not only the original brochure, but also the original bill of sale showing that it sold for about $16,000. In 1968. Which is about $130,000 today.

Re: Boat Brochures
If that $9500 was in 1959...
Its roughly the same as $73700 in worthless 2011 dollars. And this is based on offical CPI inflation figures. Those CPI numbers were jiggered in the last 20 years so the actual price probably is in excess of 100k.
Not as cheap as you thought? That's inflation for you. And no, inflation is not a good thing unless you're deep in debt... Between 1800 to 1900, a dollar bought MORE not less! Inflation is a consequence of incompetent socialist governments and central banks bailing out incompetent banks (private profits, socialized losses).
Sorry if I sound sour but its hot thing for me. Those brochures are really nice, I haven't seen these before. The others I saw was a bit newer, greenish in color.

Re: Boat Brochures
Looks like main mast position and lenght stays the same for sloop and yawl options.
Re: Boat Brochures
To me the mainmast of the yawl looks a bit shorter. That seems to "figure" for me as well because the yawl only lists 11.5 square feet more sail area than the sloop. Unless the mizzen is 11.5 square feet (and that does not seem possible; it must be larger than that) it would seem to indicate the main is smaller on the yawl (unless the heat has addled my brain).Paulus wrote:Looks like main mast position and lenght stays the same for sloop and yawl options.
Nice brochure - thanks for posting it.

Re: Boat Brochures
I've seen a few Tritons with a pipe berth arrangement in the saloon. They looked as thought they could have come from the builder that way.
Here is a photo:

Re: Boat Brochures
Alberg had a few choice words about calling the Triton a cruising boat for 4. I can only imagine what he would say if he saw the added pipe berths :>)

Re: Boat Brochures
Not on a Triton, that I can recall. I have seen other boats wherein the padded settee backs (usually with the padding permanently attached as opposed to loose cushions) flip up to become upper bunks -- typically held up by a strap etc. to the overhead.

Re: Boat Brochures
I have a factory-installed pipe berth on my Cape Dory 27.Northstar wrote:...Because I am deleting the V-berth on my rebuild I have been mulling around the idea of a couple of pipe-berths...just haven't figured out where to stow the pipes yet...
Both pipes stow in the outboard hangers, one on top of the other, with the fabric rolled around the inboard pipe.
This arrangement takes up very little space, and is easily deployed or stowed. The fabric is sewn to give about a 4-6" droop between the pipes, which results in a secure and comfortable berth.
