The Sun 27 is a 27.5ft masthead sloop designed by Monk/Perry and built in fiberglass by Spencer Boats Ltd. since 1977.
The Sun 27 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
