The Contessa 27 is a light sailboat which is a high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top quarter. It is a good choice.
