It's in the water now waiting for you to take a test sail!
This Bill Shaw design results in one of the spacious 27 foot sailboats out there. It is 22’ 6” long at the waterline and has a 9’ 1” beam with a spacious open cabin design boasting over 6’ of headroom. There is an enclosed aft stateroom to port with 3 opening ports and hatches. The head is also aft on the starboard side with a flushing head, sink, and shower with floor sump. The forward part of main cabin is convertible large v-berth to a table with seating for 6. There are several storage areas below the seating and forward near the bow. Amidships is a port side galley with sink and two burner Origio alcohol stove and on the starboard side a generous and well insulated ice box with a chart table / countertop and the 12V and 120V electric panel above it.
On deck you have a comfortable cockpit with cushions and wheel steering. The traveler is on the cabin top with an upgraded mainsheet system you can control from the helm. The 130% genoa can also be easily controlled from the helm. The boat sails well and can go almost anywhere with lead wing keel and the resulting its 3’ 4” draft. When not sailing the boat is powered by a Universal Medalist (Westerbeke) M2-12 diesel engine that starts easily and sips fuel.
Current Owners:
This boat has been based in the fresh water of the Hudson River for the last 10+ years. We have owned her since 2020 and sailed her on many adventures. She’s been much loved and traveled to Long Island Sound multiple times with trips around Long Island and out to Block Island. She’s a great boat for couples for up to a couple week cruise with many improvements to make life aboard easier. After 3000 NMi it’s time for us to go to a larger boat for longer cruises. We are sadly putting her up for sale and hope someone else can experience the joy of sailing and cruising on her. She’s currently in the Hyde Park area. Extensive printed and digital documentation available for all systems. No major issues are known to exist at this time. Engine does not use oil, hours unknown but about 500 since 2020. Docklines, fenders, and various other items included. Come and see it and make an offer.
