About the AMIGO 27
The Amigo 27 is a compact, full-keel sloop designed by Carl Andersson and built by Arne Arksunds in Sweden in 1973. With a displacement of 6393.0 lb and a beam of 8.37 ft, it represents a specific era of Scandinavian boatbuilding, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and protected waters, appealing to owners who prioritize a stable, comfortable ride over high-speed performance. Its fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 12.81 suggest it is manageable for single-handers or couples seeking a low-maintenance cruiser.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the Amigo 27 features a conservative capsize ratio of 1.81 and a heavy displacement of 6393.0 lb that suggests inherent stability, its small size and single-year production run limit its proven track record for extended bluewater passages compared to larger, more widely produced designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Tartan 27 and the O'Day 27, which share similar dimensions and the full-keel, fractional sloop configuration typical of the early 1970s. These vessels offer similar displacement and beam characteristics, targeting the same market of affordable, stable coastal cruisers.
