Lancer 27 Ps

Designed by Herb David and built by Lancer from 1983 to 1985, this 26-footer represents a brief but notable entry in the competitive small cruiser market of the early 1980s. With its fin keel and spade rudder configuration, the Lancer 27 Ps delivers responsive handling characteristics that make it well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. The boat's fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area provide a balanced sailing experience, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance. At 4,600 pounds displacement with 1,700 pounds of ballast, the design strikes a reasonable balance between performance and stability for its size class. The comfort ratio of 17.36 indicates a relatively stiff, motion-prone platform typical of performance-oriented designs from this era, making it better suited for day sailing and short coastal passages rather than extended cruising. The capsize screening formula of 2.07 suggests good initial stability for coastal waters, though like most boats of this size, it's not intended for serious offshore work. With only three years of production, the Lancer 27 Ps remains a relatively rare find on the used boat market, appealing primarily to sailors seeking an affordable entry into the world of small boat cruising and racing.
