The design is a unauthorized development of Peterson's International Offshore Rule Half Ton class Chaser 29 racer, using the same hull design. The molds had been owned by US Yachts, a division of Bayliner to make the US Yachts US 29 and were sold to Pearson Yachts.[1][2]
Production
editThe design was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States, starting in 1985, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]
