Knoop 27 CAPABLE CRUISER/RACER SET TO GO! HUGE PRICE DROP!!

Tasmanian designed and built, the Knoop 27 was created after the great success of the Knoop 30 Cruiser/Racer. The Knoop 27 proved to be extremely popular as a great all rounder. Over 30 vessels were launched throughout the 80's and they immediately proved to be competitive twilight and round the buoy racers, whilst their ease of use made them ideal as a first family yacht. With their impressive performance, simple systems, and comfortable interiors, they continue to be highly sought after. This vessel is an excellent example of the design having been very well built by Bruce Young in Hobart. Presenting in good condition throughout, this versatile vessel offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy both cruising and racing with ease and comfort!

Stepping inside, the interior is light and airy with a charming mix of clean white finishes and traditional timber trims. To port is a generous dinette with seating on the neatly upholstered settees for 4 in comfort. The well appointed galley is opposite. This features a 2 burner metho stove, stainless steel sink with fresh water, and large 12V fridge. The accommodation is excellent for cruising with family and friends and includes a large double v-berth forward, two single pilot berths, and the dinette can convert to a double when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with private bathroom with toilet and vanity.

Outside, the the large cockpit is a great space to relax in your favourite anchorages. The vessel is well set up for easy shorthanded sailing with a furling headsail, self tailing primary winches, electric anchor winch (with cockpit controls), and most lines lead aft to the cockpit.
