Gs 27

Designed by the collaborative team of Graham & Schlageter, this 27-footer represents a thoughtful approach to small boat cruising that emerged during the mid-1980s sailing boom. With its moderate proportions and fiberglass construction, the Gs 27 strikes a balance between performance and comfort that appeals to sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser. The boat's design philosophy centers on seaworthiness and manageable sailing characteristics. A healthy ballast-to-displacement ratio of nearly 39% provides excellent stability, while the fin keel configuration with transom-hung rudder delivers responsive handling and good upwind performance. The masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward, making this an ideal choice for couples or small crews. At 22.50 feet on the waterline, the Gs 27 achieves a respectable hull speed while maintaining the draft and beam proportions that allow access to most harbors and anchorages. The comfort ratio of 17.7 suggests this design prioritizes motion comfort over pure speed, making longer passages more pleasant. Well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures, this design offers the security of substantial construction with sailing characteristics that build confidence. The capsize screening value indicates good stability margins for its intended use in protected and near-coastal waters.
