1980 Nor’Sea 27 Hull #156

Boat was purchased in 2016 and outfitted for extended cruise in South Florida and Bahamas. All systems were upgraded for the ease of use, failure free cruising and safety at sea.

Boat is laid-out for single-handed offshore sailing. She is set-up for a cruising couple, but will comfortably accommodate 3 people.  With a draft of only 3’ 10”, she is ideal for gunkholing.  Being solar powered (DC) only it is freed from shore power (AC) and galvanic corrosion.  She has a new engine, drivetrain and new fuel tank installed in 2015.. Her hull has been vinylester and barrier coated and is free of damage and blisters.
