About the EAGLE 27
When introduced, this yachts was advertised as a scaled down version of the TRIANGLE 32. Hence, it is sometimes referred to as the TRIANGLE 27. An unknown but small number were built.
The Eagle 27 is a classic 27-foot masthead sloop designed by Maclear & Harris and built by US Yachts (USA) between 1963 and 1967. With a displacement of 6000.0 lb and a full/long keel, this vessel represents a substantial, heavy-displacement cruiser from the early 1960s, though the exact number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable passage maker with a low capsize ratio of 1.84. Its comfort ratio of 24.03 suggests it provides a relatively soft motion, making it appealing to sailors who prioritize comfort over high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- The Eagle 27 demonstrates strong offshore suitability with a high displacement-to-length ratio of 282.72 and a low capsize ratio of 1.84, indicating a stable and safe platform for bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Pearson 28 and the O'Day 27, which share similar dimensions and full-keel designs. These vessels are comparable due to their shared role as heavy-displacement, trailerable cruisers with similar beam and draft characteristics.
