The Balboa 27 8.2 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Lyle C. Hess as a cruiser and first built in 1976.[1][2][3]
The Balboa 27 8.2 is a development of the Balboa 26.[1]
Production
The design was built by Coastal Recreation in the United States , starting in 1976, but it is now out of production.[1][4]
Design
The Balboa 27 8.2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel. It displaces 4,900 lb (2,223 kg) and carries 2,600 lb (1,179 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the swing keel extended and 2.42 ft (0.74 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is fitted with a 9 hp (7 kW) British Petters Limited diesel engine or a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 21 U.S. gallons (79 L; 17 imp gal) and the cabin has 73 in (190 cm) of headroom.[1]
Operational history
In a 1977 article Chuck Malseed described the boat as, "a comfortable 27' trailerable."[5]
