The Newport 27-1 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Canadian design firm C&C Design as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1970.[1][2][3][4]

Production

The design was built by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States, starting in 1970, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6][7]

Design

The Newport 27-1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept fin keel. It displaces 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) and carries 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2][7]

The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is optionally fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal), the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal), while the holding tank is 6 U.S. gallons (23 L; 5.0 imp gal).[1][2][7]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee and a drop-down dinette table that converts to a double berth in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder and has a two-burner stove to starboard and a sink and ice box to port. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is in excess of 72 in (183 cm).[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h).[2]

Operational history

In a 2010 Cruising World review Micheal Robertson wrote, "construction is typical for the era and the price point. The hull is hand laid, and the keel is lead. All through-hulls are bronze, but they're fitted with PVC gate valves. Dry storage seems endless, but tankage is inadequate for longer than a weekend cruise; the holding tank is only 6 gallons. Tiller steering is standard, and the underbody features a fin keel and a balanced spade rudder."[7]
