About the Sr 27

Relatively little documentation has surfaced about the Sr 27, making it a somewhat elusive entry in the sailboat registry. What can be inferred from its designation suggests a modestly sized monohull likely suited to day sailing, coastal cruising, or weekend adventures rather than extended offshore passages. Boats in this size class typically offer a practical balance between ease of handling and comfortable accommodations, making them appealing to sailors who want a manageable vessel without sacrificing the enjoyment of genuine sailing performance. Without a well-established production history or widely published specifications, the Sr 27 remains a boat that prospective buyers would want to research carefully before pursuing. Tracking down previous owners, builder documentation, or class association records — if any exist — would be essential steps in understanding how this design performs on the water and how it holds up over time. For the thorough researcher, hunting down original build records or surveying an existing example could reveal whether this is a hidden gem or simply a rare find with limited support. Due diligence is especially important when information is scarce.

Performance Ratios
PHRF Rating PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) is a national racing handicap measured in seconds per nautical mile. Lower values indicate faster boats. Ratings are sourced from US Sailing's national database (median across 60+ regional fleets).
Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
105
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
11.53
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.45
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.56
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 814.67
