Seller's Description

The F-27 is a unique combination of easily handled cruiser for your family, exciting performance for the racer, and take it anywhere trailerability. It is light for easy handling yet large enough for serious offshore racing.

You’ll love the wide spacious decks and near level sailing- perfect for safe family cruising, while the shallow draft means any beach is just an excuse to pull in and play. Comfortable cruising style accommodation, responsive handling, and effortless speed, make the F-27 always a pleasure to be on.

The efficient fracti0onal rig has all control lines lead aft for convenient operation from the cockpit. A roller furling boom, plus jiffy reefing, is standard equipment for easily sail handling.

The deep retractable daggerboard gives excellent windward capability, equal or superior to many 40-foot monohulls. Downwind or reaching, you can mix it with 65 footers!

An Australian pedigree with over 500,000 safe sailing miles guarantees sea worthiness. Totally unsinkable, innovative design and the most advanced construction technology have produced a boat that can safely cruise anywhere.

With no need for a heavy keel, the F-27 is light and has excellent trailering characteristics. The low towing weight will allow you to discover and explore many out of reach cruising grounds. Trailering also offers a significant saving in dock fees and maintenance.

Rigging and launching can all be done single handed in less than 30 minutes. Everything is designed to get you on the water faster. It is so easy! When launching, the shallow 14” draft avoids having to completely sink the trailer.

Once afloat, stability is excellent, and single handed unfolding takes just a minute, even under motor.

The F-27 is a moving statement for technological innovation. PVC foam core construction, double bias glass fabric, Kevlar, S-glass, carbon fiber and multistrata vacupressure technique means the F-27 competes with the fastest boats around for more than just the wind.

Calculations

Hull Speed
11.4 kn
Classic: 6.51 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

11.38 knots
Classic formula: 6.51 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
41.0
>20: high performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
41.04
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
57.5
<100: Ultralight

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
57.51
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
2.3
<20: lightweight racing boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
2.34
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
6.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
6.01
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
