The First 27 is a powerful, small, towable sports boat packed with potential. A born leader, she is ideal for racing offshore where she eats up the miles. Yet she is also perfect for comfortable sailing adventures shared with friends.
The First 27 was designed for offshore racing by naval architect Sam Manuard. Featuring a hard chine as far as the stem, vertical sides, a good beam on the waterline and twin rudders, she has all the makings of a robust competitive boat. The cockpit is spacious and comfortable and has two foot chocks over the full length. With a manually operated hydraulic jack to lift the keel, the First 27 is easy to tow.
The 27 is smart, with an interior that's ideal for a few days cruising with a crew of four. The forecabin has a large double berth while two berths sliding below the cockpit double the length of the saloon seats. The style of the interior is boldly contemporary, featuring many clever details that everyone will love: folding doors held by magnets, shelves that double up as bags to embark/disembark everyone's personal effects, a large table on keel casing legs, and the companionway steps have a storage section with a bottom compartment the perfect size for a fridge.
The First 27 is highly adaptable with many options to suit an owners requirements.
