Where is the best place to buy a used Pearson 23C?
Craigslist, YachtWorld, SailingTexas, and Facebook Marketplace are the four main places used Pearson 23Cs change hands. Craigslist typically has the lowest prices (private sellers, trailer-pickup only) while YachtWorld lists broker boats with cleaner paperwork.

What should I look for when buying a used Pearson 23C?
Before paying a deposit, verify hull and deck integrity (soft spots, delamination), check the standing rigging age (most insurers require replacement every 10–15 years), inspect the engine hours and service history, and confirm the sails have usable life left. A pre-purchase survey by a SAMS or NAMS-accredited surveyor is the single best $500–$900 you will spend.
How often do Pearson 23C listings turn over?
Craigslist ads expire after 30 days, and active Pearson 23C listings are typically re-posted or sold within 2–8 weeks. This page updates daily — listings that haven't been seen in 30 days drop off automatically so the links stay live.
