Location:
East Cowes, IOW
Description:
The Cutlass 27 is a 27ft masthead sloop designed by Eric White & Alan Hill and built in fiberglass. Since 1967 170 have been built. The Cutlass 27 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized.The Cutlass 27 was designed by Eric White of Marine Construction UK Ltd. (Marcon) and Alan Hill, one of the pioneers of GRP yacht design, who was responsible for a wide range of successful designs including the Trident 24, Sabre 27 and Moody Halberdier. The first boats, originally called just the "Cutlass", were built in 1967/8, and within two years over 100 had been sold. As was common with boat builders in the 1960s/70s Marcon always offered the boats either as completed boats (£2,700 in 1977) or as kits for home completion at about £1,000 less.In 1974 the design was altered to increase headroom, with a slight increase in ballast and displacement, plus other minor alterations, and renamed the "Cutlass 27", these boats remaining in production until around the mid-1980s, though the last of these boats were sold only as bare hulls or kits, as Marcon were concentrating on producing bigger boats. About 200 of these boats in total are believed to have been built.The Cutlass hull design is clearly a Folk Boat development, with a short counter stern added, and shares the speed and seakeeping abilities of the breed. She has a ballast ratio of over 50%, and by modern expectations quite narrow beam.Trixie is a well-equipped version of the Cutlass 27 she has a radar, heating, chart plotter, electric windlass complemented by a new Rocna anchor. Admittedly she does require a little attention but a couple of weekends would see her shipshape and Bristol Fashion and ready for new adventures.For full inventory see our website at www.waypoint-yachtbrokers.co.uk
