Design

The SR 27 is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly plumb stem, an open reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting fin keel. It displaces 3,750 lb (1,701 kg).[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.92 ft (1.80 m) with the lifting keel extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 102 with a high of 105 and low of 99. It has a hull speed of 6.56 kn (12.15 km/h).[4]
