1984 Wellcraft Starwind 27

Starwind 27 SD is a Jim Taylor designed and Wellcraft built sailboat and this one features multiple custom upgrades to enhance sailing performance and cruising comfort that you wont find in any similar sailboat. This boat looks impressive on the water and sails very well, with a respectable PHRF (NE) = 186. The interior is clean and spacious for a small pocket cruiser. There is plenty of light and ventilation with 2 new custom fixed lights and 2 new Lewmar vented lights on both sides of the cabin installed in 2018. The V-berth hatch is a new Lewmar Ocean Series hatch installed in 2020. The teak and holly flooring was new in 2020. The galley features hot and cold pressure water system, 2-burner alcohol stove and insulated ice box. Yanmar 2ym15 installed in 2013, currently has 265 hours.

Everything on boat works as it should, it was recently sailed to Cape May and back. Only issues are, sails are getting older but still usable, and there are some soft spots in the deck from previous leaks.

I’ve owned the boat for 3 years, selling due to increasingly less time to use the boat.
