About the BREEZE 27
The Breeze 27 is a classic 1970s cruiser designed by E. G. van de Stadt, who also served as the builder. With a production run limited to the year 1970 and an unknown total hull count, this vessel represents a specific snapshot of mid-century Dutch boatbuilding.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who value a manageable 26.42 ft LOA and a fin keel layout. Its moderate displacement of 4822.0 lb and comfort ratio of 19.25 suggest it is well-suited for relaxed day sailing and short overnight trips rather than heavy weather voyaging.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.9 and a displacement of 4822.0 lb, the Breeze 27 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater voyager. Its fin keel and moderate ballast ratio indicate stability suitable for protected waters but limited reserve buoyancy for extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1970s European fin-keel sloops of similar length, such as the O'Day 27 or early Cal 27s, which share the masthead sloop rig and similar displacement ranges. These vessels are comparable due to their era-specific construction methods and role as accessible entry-level cruisers.
