$45,000 (USD) Carolina Beach, North Carolina (North Carolina)

S/V Lua is a Carolina Beach, North Carolina based 1977 Pearson 365 Ketch For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

Lua is a 1977 Pearson 365 ketch in good condition. This classic fiberglass cruiser offers the robust construction and seakindly motion for which the Pearson 365 is known, combined with the versatile ketch sail plan that makes sail handling flexible and efficient for short-handed or offshore passages.

In 2020 Lua received a comprehensive refit of all major systems. The project included a topside repaint, a full engine rebuild, and systematic updates to the boat’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems to restore reliability and extend offshore capability. Work completed during the refit was executed with an emphasis on long-term serviceability and safe operation.

The Pearson 365’s layout is designed for comfortable extended cruising: a practical galley, an enclosed head, abundant storage and sleeping accommodations arranged to maximize privacy and living space below. The ketch rig provides a balanced helm and multiple reefing and sail combination options, which many cruisers prefer for passagemaking and heavy weather handling.

Lua is offered with a transferable slip in Carolina Beach, NC, providing immediate access to the water and a convenient base for local or extended voyages. She is available for inspection by appointment; prospective buyers are encouraged to review the full listing for detailed specifications, service history, photos and video documentation of the 2020 refit and current condition.

If you are seeking a well-maintained, system-upgraded Pearson 365 ketch with proven cruising attributes and a ready-to-sail platform, Lua merits a close look.

Curtis Stokes

By Curtis Stokes

Curtis Stokes was born in Lewes, Delaware and grew up in nearby Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and St. Michaels, MD until he moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1992. 

Curtis grew up on the water and around boats through many years of fishing, sailing and hunting up and down the East Coast of the U.S. and The Bahamas. While attending Washington College, in Chestertown, Maryland, Curtis decided to obtain his real estate license and joined his father’s real estate firm, Anderson-Stokes Realtors. 

Curtis became president of the firm after his father’s death and led the company through its expansion to 20 offices and expanded the publicly traded company into insurance, advertising and development. The company was sold in 1991 and Curtis decided to pursue his real love of the water and made yachting his career. 

Curtis’ yachting career includes everything from a 75’ Trumpy to a 180’ Feadship, 2½ circumnavigations and a half dozen Atlantic Ocean crossings. He has been associated with and enjoyed worldwide cruising on such well known vessels as EXCELLENCE, FIFFANELLA, OUR TOY, MOECCA, RENEGADE, KISSES and HUNTRESS. Curtis also gained experience as sales manager at Hatteras Yachts, in New Bern, NC, where he helped develop and sell new models and train and coordinate his dealer network. 

Curtis then spent six years as a very successful yacht sales broker with The Sacks Group Yachting Professionals, Inc. Curtis was consistently a top producer at the firm. Curtis decided to form his own yacht sales and charter firm September 1, 2009, which took off on a very successful start, even in a recession! 

Curtis has grown the company to multiple offices and 50 full time sales associates located around the US; and he has sold virtually every type and size of yacht and boat possible. 

Curtis held a USCG 3000 ton All Oceans Master license, UK MCA Class IV Master certificate, Cayman Islands Master certificate and a PADI Divemaster certificate. He is also a former Emergency Medical Technician, firefighter and CPR instructor.  Curtis is an active member of the America’s Great Loop Cruiser Association (AGLCA), Superyacht Society, United States Superyacht Association, Marine Trawler Owner Association (MTOA), DeFever Cruiser Club, Seven Seas Cruising Association, Billfish Foundation, International Gamefish Association and Ducks Unlimited.  Curtis also is a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB), a member of the International Yacht Broker Association, Yacht Broker Association of America and the Northwest Yacht Broker Association.
