Heritage Super 27 (Chrysler 27, TMI 27)
Description
The Heritage Super 27 is a fiberglass masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built by Heritage Yacht Corp. (Clearwater, Florida, USA) starting in 1978. It represents one of the compact cruiser/racer models from Morgan's short-lived independent company (post-Morgan Yachts), with limited production (exact quantity undocumented but low, likely in the dozens given the builder's scale and brief operational period before ceasing around 1980). The design emphasizes performance with a fin keel for good upwind ability and handling, a relatively generous sail area for its size (reported 404 ft²), and a practical layout suitable for daysailing, club racing, or short coastal cruises (accommodations typically include berths for 4-5, compact galley, head, and settees in a simple interior). It shares design lineage or naming history with similar 27-footers that transitioned through builders (evolved from Morgan 27/Chrysler 27/TMI 27 lines.
