We had the 27 Mk 5 as well as the previous mark here on Carlyle. Both did

that's a personal thing about transom hug rudders.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Mk V C&C 27. Ticks all the boxes and puts money back in your pocket.
My friend Bill Dingwell bought one after selling his C&C 40 and still kicks
butt in local PHRF on Buzzards Bay.
