Why sailors choose the SSC 27

The Seascape 27 (listed in results as SSC 27) is a light, trailerable 27-footer built for short-handed racing and simple camper cruising. Judges and testers praised its speed upwind and down, twin rudders that keep control when heeled, and offshore safety features. It is expensive for its size.

  • Light, trailerable boat that can go offshore
  • Quick upwind and downwind; reaches mid-teen speeds
  • Twin rudders give secure control
  • Built to offshore safety categories
  • Simple camper-style interior
  • High price for a 27-footer

  • Quick on every point of sail, touching 14 knots downwind with light steering in gusts; he would trust it for almost anything after heavy-weather testing.
