This is the story of the restoration of Glissando, a 1963 Pearson Triton, a classic Carl Alberg design. After nearly two years of near-constant work, during which the boat was gutted back to the essence of hull and deck, all new systems were installed, recored the deck, and redid anything that could be redone, Glissando ended up a well-found cruiser that is basically a new craft within a classic shell. There was virtually no part of the boat left untouched, and all critical components were replaced.
