| Notes | The Coronado 27 is a classic, production cruiser-racer sailboat from the early 1970s, known for its sturdy fiberglass construction, spacious interior for its size, and straightforward handling. Designed by William H. Tripp Jr., a pioneer in fin-keel designs, it was built by Coronado Yachts (a division of Whittaker Corp.) from 1970 to 1973, with around 100–150 units produced. Often compared to its near-identical sibling, the Columbia 27 (the same hull mold, rebranded for different markets), it's a masthead sloop with a fin keel and spade rudder, offering a balance of coastal cruising comfort and club racing potential. At 27 feet, it's trailerable with effort but shines as a family weekender or solo coastal hopper. |

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
