C&C 27

The C&C 27 is a series of keelboats built from 1970 to 1982 by C&C Yachts in Canada, with some also produced in the United States. The C&C 27 Mk V was a new design, unrelated to Marks I-IV.
In the UK it was developed into the Trapper 500 and an "unauthorized copy" was built in Austria as the Korneuburg 27.

Design

Designed by Robert W. Ball, it has a fibreglass hull and a balsa core deck. It has a fixed fin keel and an internally mounted spade-type rudder. They were initially fitted with an Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine but switched to a Yanmar diesel during the production of Mk III. Wheel steering was introduced in 1976.
The first four variants of the C&C 27 are refinements of the original design; the C&C 27 Mk V is a different design.
It has a masthead sloop rig.
