Seller's Description
Flexible about price. Want to see her go to a good owner.
Originally from Chesapeake Bay area. Previously owned by Howie McMichael. Raced in EBYRA and HRYRA. Located in Westchester County on the Hudson River.
In pretty decent shape but 1 stanchion needs to be rebedded and others should be at some point in time.
She’s been stored on the hard and covered for the past 2 years. Recently uncovered and cleaned.
Equipment: Sail inventory: Dacron main; Kevlar #1 155% Genoa; Dacron #3 95% Jib; Nylon chute & reacher ( 3 blown out sails useful for manufacturer trade in deals)
Outboard: 5hp Mercury 4-stroke. 6 years old, <50 hours.
Winches: Barient 2-speed primaries and cabin tops
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The Rod Johnstone-designed J/27 was first introduced in 1983, and 211 hulls were built by 1992. This is one of the more affordable boats on our list, with an average price of $19,000. Racing it requires a crew of five to seven.
The J/27 sails to its rating best in light or heavy air and has some trouble competing in medium air, mostly because of the shorter waterline length. Some boats need simple upgrades to get ready for racing, such as new halyards, adjustable leads, and a new backstay. This is likely to cost approximately $2,500. A new suit of sails for a J/27 will be $7,500.
J/27 http://www.j27.org Typical monthly costs: $756 Annual budget range: $1,000 to $12,000 PHRF 17 to 129 LOA 27’6″ LWL 23′ Beam 8’6″ Draft 4’11” Disp. 3,800 lbs. SA 364 sq. ft.

DISPLACEMENT: If you weigh the boat on a scale, that is her actual displacement. It is the ...
I looked at J27, J29 and J30 before buying my Laser28 (moving up from a J24). My two finalists were J30 and L28 because we wanted a used "performance" boat with room to cruise for a small family. No regrets. The J27 has a huge party cockpit (for the size of the boat) and can put the boots to larger traditional racer cruisers.

There's an Islander 36 SD (4'9") within 150 miles. *** J27 Sailboat w/ outboard***. Islander 36 (speaking of more room below) and it's rating is probably around 144 as compared to 126 on the Jboat depending on conditions. Larger seas the Islander would be better I'm thinking. disp 13,600 vs 3800 on the J.

I also need a boat which is great in light air. I am considering finding a decent J/27, adding roller furling, and installing a Saildrive 330 inboard engine. At first, it seemed like cutting a hole in a J/27 was sacriledge, but I have read that a couple of the J/90s have had this engine installed. The J/27 isn't as beautiful as an AE28, but it ...
