About
The F-27 is a unique combination of easily handled family cruiser, exciting performance racer, and take-it-anywhere trailerable trimaran. It's light enough for easy handling yet large enough for serious offshore cruising. The wide, spacious decks and near level sailing provide safety while the shallow draft means any beach is just an excuse to pull in and play.
The single most important safety feature is absolute unsinkability There are 12 watertight compartments and 3600 lbs. of built in foam buoyancy.
The cabin has been designed with the cruising sailor in mind. The main cabin features two single settee - berths, one on each side. There are large storage areas under and behind the settees. A foldaway table provides a dinette capable of seating four. There's plenty of counter space and even a trash can in its own compartment. A pop-top gives standing headroom in the galley area and exceptional ventilation, and a cockpit awning with zippered sides can enclose for overnighting.
With no need for a heavy keel, the F-27 is light and has excellent trailering characteristics. The low towing weight allows the discovery and exploration of many previously out-of-reach cruising grounds, and trailering also offers a significant saving in dock fees and maintenance. Rigging and launching can all be done singlehanded in less than 30 minutes.
