Designed by the respected team of Ted Brewer and Robert Walstrom, this Canadian-built 27-footer emerged in 1974 as a thoughtfully conceived coastal cruiser. With only 40 hulls produced by Hullmaster Boats and DS Yachts, the Hullmaster 27 represents a relatively rare find in today's used boat market. The boat's moderate proportions and fin keel with skeg-mounted rudder configuration deliver balanced sailing characteristics well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. Her displacement of 7,400 pounds, bolstered by 3,000 pounds of ballast, provides reassuring stability while maintaining reasonable performance under her masthead sloop rig. The hull's 6.21-knot theoretical hull speed offers respectable passage-making ability for exploring protected waters and nearby coastlines. Ted Brewer's influence is evident in the boat's seaworthy lines and practical design approach. The comfortable 25.43 comfort ratio suggests adequate interior volume for extended cruising, while the low 1.9 capsize screening value indicates good stability characteristics. With her fiberglass construction and proven pedigree, the Hullmaster 27 appeals to sailors seeking a well-built, manageable cruiser with classic design sensibilities and the reliability expected from this era of Canadian boatbuilding craftsmanship.
