snapdragon 27

[phil_neast]

I am looking at a boat at the moment, to buy, that is advertised as a snapdragon 27, however all the info I can find and postings here talk about this boat being a bilge keeler. The boat I am looking at has a fin?

Does anyone know if the 27 was also made with a fin keel?
Thanks

Phil.

Try contacting the Snapdragon owners association, you should find it on a google search.

Good luck

Snaps were produced in various forms ..... most popular being the bilge-keel. But Fins, Lifting keels and Triple keel are also available.

I have a Snapdragon 747 and am a member of the Owners Association. The info supplied by the Association shows the 27 as having a draught of 2 ft 9 inches. The 747 info gives draught for the twin @ 2ft 6 inches and the fin @ 3 ft 6 inches which suggests the 27 only came as a twin. I have a phone No for the Technical Officer on the Snapdragon Committee but I'm not sure if I should broadcast it here ( do the forum rules allow it? ) or will you have to send me a personal message?

See here for contact details.

and here for general spec.

As said already there were individual boats built with different hull configurations as a number of yards built Snapdragons in the later years. There were even "one offs".
