Parker 27

The Parker 27 was developed from the Super Seal 26 designed by successful small race yacht designer Ron Holland. These boats offer an exceptional combination of sailing performance and cruising accommodation. The hull has the majority of the ballast in the bilges, with a deep, efficient daggerboard style fin keel and fractional rig providing superb windward performance. Offwind the hull is also fast, surfing readily. ‘Infamy’ is a well presented example, with a 2008 Nanni diesel engine and a 2023 insurance survey is available to interested parties.
