The Cape dory 27 is a 27.08ft masthead sloop designed by Carl Alberg and built in fiberglass by Cape Dory Yachts between 1977 and 1985.

The Cape dory 27 is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
