Cutlass 27 Sailing Boat, Great Condition For Her Age And Perfect First Boat

The only reason for selling the boat is that I have bought a newer power boat, as love boating so much and this was a fantastic first taste of the water. One of photos were taken when the boat was taken out of the water to antifoul October 2018 I will take further photos of the instruments, which have been checked today and all working. The Cutlass 27 was designed by Eric White of Marcon and Alan Hill, one of the pioneers of GRP yacht design, who was responsible for a wide range of successful designs including the Trident 24, Sabre 27 and Moody Halberdier. The first Cutlass 27s were built in the late 1960s and the boat remained in production until around the mid-1980s - approximately 200 are believed to have been built. The strong, traditional design with a short counter stern and long, lead encapsulated, fixed centre keel giving a ballast ratio of over 50% ensures excellent speed and sea-keeping abilities.

She carries her sail exceptionally well in a good breeze, yet remains manageable and can be sailed single-handed with ease if required. 4 berths. Two berth V forecabin with hatch, shelves and windows and roof opening hatch. The saloon incorporates two full single bunks, a galley with two burner cooker, chart table, storage lockers VHF radio in the cabin, new loose cloth covers to the original seat cushions Varnished floors with new carpet and electric lights in all cabins, as well at sea toilet and hand sink. The boat has two batteries (I leisure) there is a 3 way plug converter on board, as well as a phone charger, music radio, a compass as well as a handheld waterproof VHF radio, which works perfectly and cost £129.00.

There is also a marine autopilot on board which again I have never used, but told it works perfectly when I bought the boat two years ago. There are a number of upper deck compartments as well as a gas locker, seat covers and there is also a spare Tiller on board. With a little investment and a bit of time this could be the perfect boat for anyone interested in doing some extended cruising or just searching for a boat that would look after you at sea; she would comfortably cruise with 2/4 people. I am no petrol head (the boat has never let me down in the two years I have owned her and starts first time every time) but the instructions that came with the boat (see attached photos) are for the instruments on board (although I have not used them, as only sail out in the bay) and engine manual, which is a Yanma Diesel Marine engine 1GM10 series, (this has been checked and verified) and a very clean engine, see new photo the boat is fitted with and electric as well as manual bilge pumps. The boat has a head sail (which is the only one I use out in the bay) as well as a mainsail (which I have never use, but was used when I trialled the boat from the last owner) the boat is also fitted with lazy jacks so can easily be sailed single handed, it also comes with an anchor with chain, mooring warps and new full set of fenders which are ready to go on.

There are new 4 fenders (not even out of the packs yet) and a couple already on the boat, I had a new oak tiller made at the start of the year (there is a spare on there as well) I have just replaced the bilge pump switch and just taken delivery of a brand new Starter control panel for the engine (the one on there is fine, but always looking to keep things improved) so just spent £500 on her. All in all - a good looking and robust sailing boat, realistically priced which would benefit from a few minor improvements (maybe a smaller cooker/Burner, curtains, new seat covers as the original once are still on there with no damage or tares, but fitted with loose covers) but a fantastic solid first sailing boat - but would be sure to pay you back in adventures. There are additional photos available on request. Please note that this boat is for sale elsewhere and I reserve the right to remove this at anytime!!! Please no timewasters (I will not give out any information outside of classifieds board because of scammers sorry) and you must view the boat prior to purchasing the boat, so do not hit the "buy it now button" prior to viewing as the funds will be returned!!!

(again because of scammers) Happy bidding and any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. The boat is currently moored in a quieter part of the bay, with additional moorings available. This Boat will not be around for long, as the first to see will buy and spend many a day sailing the waters of Cardiff bay and the Bristol channel or further if that is what you have planned.
