About the HERITAGE SUPER 27
The HERITAGE SUPER 27 later became the CHRYSLER 27 and then the TMI 27.
The Heritage Super 27 is a 27.33 ft masthead sloop designed by Charles Morgan and built by Heritage Yacht Corp.(USA) in 1978. With a displacement of 7900.0 lb and a beam of 9.92 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American yacht construction, though the exact number of hulls built remains unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, offering a manageable size for single-handers or couples who prioritize ease of handling over long-range offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.0 and a comfort ratio of 22.06, the Super 27 is designed for coastal comfort rather than heavy offshore passage-making, lacking the extreme stability metrics of dedicated bluewater cruisers.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Catalina 27 and O'Day 27, which share similar dimensions and roles as popular trailerable or coastal cruisers with comparable beam and draft characteristics.
