About the ADAGIO 27
The Adagio 27 is a classic 1960s-era cruiser designed by Lars Olof Norlin, with 350 hulls built between 1968 and 1982. It features a full keel and masthead sloop rig, offering a stable and traditional sailing experience.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize ease of handling and stability over high-performance racing. Its moderate displacement and beam make it comfortable for couples or small families seeking a manageable first sailboat.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 6614.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.96, the Adagio 27 is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages, but its light displacement relative to its beam limits its suitability for serious bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 25 and the O'Day 27, as they share similar dimensions, full-keel designs, and a focus on comfortable coastal cruising from the same era.
