THe Ensign Returns

Post by Warren Kaplan »

After 18 years the Carl Alberg designed "Pearson Ensign" is being built again. Obviously not by Pearson. I learned to sail on that boat and it sure was a honey of a boat. I LOVED it. Anyone else have fond memories of the Ensign? If you want to read the article, log on to

Thanks for the information. We have owned our Ensign since 1977 (purchased new). It's a great boat with a huge cockpit and several very active fleets around the country. Our fleet in northern Michigan has over 50 Ensigns.

It is a great boat. Going to look at one tomorrow. My second sailboat was an Ensign, and it remains the most fun boat I've sailed (I've also owned three CDs).

I like the part that says "used boats in good condition can sell for over $10,000! How come in my area the barely get $3,000? A little spin......
