The roller furling jib, mainsails (2, for the separate sloop & yawl rigs), and mizzen sail are of Oceanus Dacron (a cream-colored Dacron that closely resembles Egyptian cotton). The asymmetric spinnaker is a bicolored (white/yellow/white) lightweight fabric. Cabin is equipped with a Port-a-Potti, 2.5 gallon water source, and deployable propane galley stove for use in cockpit. Designed by John Harris for plywood/fiberglass “stitch & glue” construction. Constructed by experienced boat builder from a Chesapeake Light Craft kit. Maiden voyage October 2010.

- A best: seller with many editions
- The 27 has a swept: back fin keel typical of many 1970s designs. The configuration makes for less than perfect windward performance, but offers good reaching in return. A strong and elaborate winter storage cradle is required, as the keel cannot support the hull weight. With a spade rudder fixed at the aft end of the waterline, the 27's light helm responds quickly.
