The Lockley-Newport LN-27 design was developed into the Gloucester 27 in 1983.[1] [4]
Production
The design was built by Lockley Newport Boats in the United States, starting in 1979, but it is now out of production.[1] [4][5]
Design
The Lockley-Newport LN-27 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop or optional masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,200 lb (2,359 kg) and carries 2,000 lb (907 kg) of ballast.[1] [4]
The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the standard keel.[1] [4]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 7 hp (5 kW) for docking and maneuvering.[1] [4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five or six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee berth that is an optional double in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "U"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin.[1] [4]
The design has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h).[4]
