The Precision 27 is an American sailboat that was designed by Jim Taylor as a cruiser and first built in 1989.[1] [2] [3]
The design was later developed into the Precision 28 by extending the transom and installing a swimming step.[4] [5]
The design was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production. Only a small number were built.[1] [3] [5] [6]
The Precision 27 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel with a lead bulb weight. It displaces 54000NaN0 and carries 18000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3] [5]
The boat has a draft of 3.58feet with the standard keel.[1] [3]
The boat is fitted with a Universal M2-12 diesel engine of 110NaN0 for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds .[1] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located beside the companionway on the starboard side and includes a sink.[1] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.4kn.[3]
The designer notes, "the boats are comfortable and sailed well, and are quite popular with their owners."[5]
