Newport 27 1

Designed by the renowned C&C Design Group and built by Capital Yachts beginning in 1970, this 27-footer represents classic early 1970s design philosophy with its moderate displacement hull and balanced proportions. The fin keel and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling characteristics that made these boats popular among both weekend sailors and racing enthusiasts. With a displacement of 6,000 pounds and 2,500 pounds of ballast, the Newport 27 1 strikes a reasonable balance between stability and performance. The masthead sloop rig carries 345 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power for coastal sailing and light recreational racing. Her 21.5-foot waterline length contributes to a theoretical hull speed of 6.21 knots, while the comfortable 9.18-foot beam offers decent interior volume for a boat this size. The comfort ratio of 20.9 suggests this is primarily a daysailer or light coastal cruiser rather than a heavy-weather offshore passage maker. Her capsize screening formula of 2.02 indicates reasonable stability for protected waters and moderate conditions. This fiberglass construction boat appeals to sailors seeking an affordable entry into keelboat sailing or those wanting a manageable size for single-handed sailing in coastal environments.
