    Pretty well all of the 27's were very good boats.  The hull shape
    changed little although there was a short one (I think in the early
    80's) but the ones in the 70's were good.  I have sailed on 2 27's they
    really sail like a 30 footer and had a good tunr of speed for what was
    essentially a cruising boat.

Ask the moderator.

I think Alan indicated that he used to own a C&C 27.  Based on his other entries
you should expect more detailed information than you ever thought you wanted.

    Alan (let me put words in his mouth) had a 26 not a 27.  You would be
    amazed at the difference between the 26 and the 27 ... in our club, the
    only 26 is called "White Knuckles" ... a reference to the tenderness of
    the boat.

    "Kicks" a 27 is unbeatable in her division.  Very fast, good rating,
    fun to sail.

    Last winter, a C&C 27 spent the winter next to mine. The owner was a
    72 year old ex-MIT professor whose son was a C&C nut and got him into
    sailing late in life. He does most of his sailing singlehanded and
    really enjoys the boat. 
    
    I have seen him out there in the afternoons and never having any 
    trouble. 
    
    The boat looked good and had no blisters. All the hardware looked like
    new too.
