The 27 looks like she’s hit some rocks as the leading edge of the keel is welll beaten.keel bolts looked fine and the hull to keel joint looked okay as wel ( no smikebor separation). The deck coring will need to be replaced from the bow tip back about 2-2.5” as the last two stanchions in the bow pulpit are wet and delaminated. Forward hatch has a hinge that has stripped out of the bedding and the bedding must be re-glassed and epoxied. One of the Barlow winches (port side) has seized. Her head plumbs directly overboard so that will need attention. Rudder needs rebuild but despite the wetness I don’t believe it’s affected performance but it’s wet and cracked at the top and is showing signs of splitting at the trailing edge. Hank on jibs (of which he has 3 including storm jib all in very good condition) two booms and whisker pole. Never used spinnaker. A4 engine with a cooling issue (owner is trying to rectify before winterizing and final sale). Great shape below deck. Big worry is that she has been on the hard (i later discovered) for over 10 years

As I recall the 26 was a more tender boat, and with the larger beam needed more attention in the puffs. However, it did better in light air. Our average wind is 10kts with a std deviation of 7, so we have a number of days in the 3-5 and 5-7 range.The 27-3 was a great sailing boat, but needed a bit more air to fully perform; closer to 10-12. It did have speed with a Pearson 30, which says something for a 27ft boat.All three folks (2 with 26s & 1 with 27) enjoyed their boats.Can't go wrong with either, but sounds like the 27 needs a lot more work. Fine if the price reflects that.OTOH, the 30-1 is a great boat.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
