The Lancer 27 PS is an American sailboat that was designed by Herb David as a motorsailer and cruiser and first built in 1983. The PS designation indicates "Power Sailer".[1][2][3]

Production

[edit]

The design was built by Lancer Yachts in the United States, from 1983 until 1985, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design

[edit]

The Lancer 27 PS is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a sharply raked stem, a plumb transom wit a fixed swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,600 lb (2,087 kg) and carries 1,700 lb (771 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 4.30 ft (1.31 m) with the standard keel. It can be fitted with an outboard motor of up to 200 hp (149 kW) for cruising, docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin around a drop-down table and an aft cabin with a transversely-mounted double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a stove, icebox and a sink. The head is located opposite the gallery on the port side.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.29 kn (11.65 km/h).[3]
