CREEKMORE 27

About the CREEKMORE 27

The Creekmore 27 is a 27.0 ft masthead sloop designed by Lee Creekmore and built by Creekmore Boats (USA) in 1984. With a displacement of 5300.0 lb and a beam of 10.08 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American boatbuilding, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available records.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 27.0 ft LOA with a comfortable 10.08 ft beam for interior space. Its moderate D/L ratio of 194.47 and SA/D ratio of 18.53 indicate it is well-suited for performance-oriented day sailing and short offshore passages rather than heavy bluewater cruising.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 2.32 and a comfort ratio of 15.59, the Creekmore 27 is primarily designed for coastal use rather than extended bluewater voyaging. Its 5300.0 lb displacement and 5.6 ft max draft suggest adequate stability for protected waters but limited reserve buoyancy for heavy offshore conditions.

Comparables:

Comparable boats from the same era include the O'Day 27 and Pearson 27, which share similar dimensions and target the coastal cruising market. The Creekmore 27 distinguishes itself with a slightly wider beam and a specific fin keel design that offers different handling characteristics compared to the full keels often found on contemporaries.
