The US Yachts US 27 is a recreational keelboat built by US Yachts in the United States, around 1983.[1][2].[3][4]
It is an unauthorized development of Doug Peterson's Chaser 29. The US 27 molds were later sold to Pearson Yachts and developed into the Triton 27 in 1984.[3][4][5]
The fiberglass has a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller. It has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the standard keel and 3.5 ft (1.1 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[3][4] It has a hull speed of 6.46 kn (11.96 km/h).[4]
It has four berths , with a double "V"-berth, a U-shaped settee and drop-down dinette table in the main cabin on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 72 in (183 cm).[3][4]
It has a masthead sloop rig.
