The G&S 27 is an American sailboat that was designed by Graham & Schlageter as a Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) racer and first built in 1986.[1][2][3][4]

The boat is very similar to the Mariah 27, also designed by Graham & Schlageter in 1986.[1][3]

Design[]

The G&S 27 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,100 lb (2,313 kg) and carries 1,975 lb (896 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.36 kn (11.78 km/h).[3]
