JOLLYBOAT is Triton hull number 466, built 1965 in Bristol, Rhode Island by Pearson Yachts. For decades Triton's have been providing sailing adventures and excitement for an ever increasing group of loyal enthusiasts. In 1959 when cousins Clint and Everett barely finished hull number one in time for the New York Boat Show they had no idea that they were introducing a new sailboat to the public that was to become a legend. Today the Triton continues to captivate the attentions of it's sailors as much or more so than ever. Among the Triton's many firsts it shares a small stage with early fiberglass production boats but gained it's share of the spot light with production numbers that even by today's are respectable. Today well over half of the Triton's that were produced continue to sail and many of those are being restored, maintained and upgraded. These pages will be used to further illuminate the inherent qualities of the Triton and the care and restoration of Triton 466.
