Product Overview
The RC27 has been a legend in high performance
catamaran sailing circles since 1985. Winning countless closed course and long
distance races world wide, the RC27 has proven that it is a formidable sailing
craft. Designed for the seasoned cat sailing aficionado and racer, the RC-27 is a world class
boat that can sail circles around production and custom catamarans costing easily twice as
much or more. The RC-27 was designed to provide comfortable high-speed sailing in a
package easily handled by a crew of two or three.
Advances in materials and processes as well as
improved fittings allows us to again raise the bench mark in the competitive
arena. The all Carbon Fiber Foam Core construction including the hulls, Mast and
beams keeps this sailing machine on the cutting edge of technology.
Keeping components & controls simple and light weight allows two people to easily rig and
sail the RC27 in a wide range of conditions. Adequate buoyancy also provides
additional flexibility in regards to crew size. The RC27 will provide amazing
performance and assure its owner of lasting value in a boat built for
competition.
Transportability is assured with simple lightweight
components that are readily assembled in limited
areas. No need for launching ramps or hoists. An
area roughly the size of the RC27 is adequate and
launching is accomplished off the beach with simple dollies. All components are
easily handled by one or two people. Rigging and mast stepping is accomplished
with a gin pole system.
Simplicity in sail controls was a prime goal when rigging the RC27. The self
tacking jib system has
proven itself over many years of both competitive as well as day sailing
adventures. Tacking up wind now becomes a joy with a jib that is essentially
self tending. No more mad scrambles to release the jib sheet and the resulting
adjustment for the new tack. Sit back and relax as you work your way to windward
with each tack as quick and sure as can be. The forward traveler controls now
allows the crew to trim the traveler. Correct traveler trim is now easily
accomplished from just about any crew position and what a difference that can
make in shifty or gusty wind conditions. Keeping the RC27 sailing at high speeds
is assured by well thought out sail controls and quality components.
