Excellent 1978 Cal 27, Regularly Maintained! Powered by a 10HP Ferryman Engine! Lots of Extras Included!

Very nice CAL 27. This sailboat is perfect for the Bay area, she is light, stable and can take a good breeze. If you are looking for a basic easy sailing boat, she is the one!!

With a nice ample wide beam of 9 feet, what first impresses is the space in the cockpit and the space down below. It feels open and airy due to the side windows and the updated portholes through out. Comfortable seating on both sides of the cabin, and nice storage from stem to stern. As you walk below, the aft cabin is a chart table work area, with a very large icebox. All electrical primarily 12V switches are on the aft bulkhead.

Moving forward in the cabin you reach the midship bulkhead and just ahead you have a porta-potty and cold water sink and a good size V-berth.

This CAL 27 points well and sails like a dream, the owner confirms.
