MGC 27

[Alan1]

Hi
I am thinking of buying a MGC 27 anyone have any experience of this yacht. What is the build quality like.
Any help appreciated.

I have not sailed on one but have raced against one. I was always very impressed with the boat.

It would be in my short list if I was looking for a boat of that size and type.

A quick summary appeared in PBO a while back.
Generally sail well, although I know someone who would always ? outsail one in his Jag27....

The MGC 27, is generally thought of a good sailer...but as with all things, it depends on what you want to do. And as someone has said before, do not limit your search to one boat for whatever reasons, as there will be several that will also do what you want from a boat. It's just sometimes we have to look sideways!

Definitely not the boat, then. An MG 27 should run rings around a Jag 27 on any point of sailing. I raced against a very well sorted & crewed one in Burnham under CHS & IRC rating system and she was often boat for boat on the water with my 33ft IOR racer!! Unbeatable.

Er...I'll just leave it at that. Nothing in life is definite.......

Cracking sailing boat and nice layout down below, couldn't find one when I was looking. If you spot a good one snap it up!

You are probably aware of this bit of background:

I wasn't, or if I was, I had forgot. I have only been on board one but it struck me as a very nice boat. I always think this style of small boat packs in a lot of excellent accommodation as well as being nippy.
