Seller's Description
Amigo 27 sailboat for sale The amigo 27 is a Swedish made boat, it is an extremely stable ocean going yacht and has been used for world cruises. it is one of the smallest blue water rated ( suitable for ocean crossings ) boats on the market, making it easy to handle and suitable for single handed sailing or a small crew; and due to its unusually stable hull design with a long full length keel ( see photos) it can, handle a very rough sea ( and has been put to the test!) better than most boats of its size.
It has a furling jib sail and reefing mainsail- All rigging can be controlled from the cockpit. Furling jib sail in great condition ( see photos) washed and repaired in sept 2022 reefing mainsail washed and repaired sept 2022 in great condition ( see photos)
Antifouled in July 2022 Full set of brand new windows Aug 2022 Deck has been newly repainted with non slip paint in October 2022
Comes with a 6hp outboard engine only 2 years old, ( used only for small sections of the boats journey over from Sweden) It also has an inboard 12hp engine yanmar- though this has been taken out of the boat and will need an overhaul or reconditioned. However it does run fine with just the outboard. Outboard attachment fitted 2020 Electric Nav lights radio and inside lights though we haven’t used the electrics for a while so battery will probably need replaced.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

5.8 kn
Classic: 5.95 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
12.8
<16: under powered
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
41.4
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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
- Displacement/Length
-
374.2
300-400: heavy
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
27.1
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
- Capsize Screening
-
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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
