Defender 27

13 / 50 - score 66%

The Defender 27 is a 26.25ft masthead sloop designed by Jacques Gaubert / André Mauric and built in fiberglass by Dekker & Sons (Jachtwerf F. Dekker en Zonen) since 1971.

The Defender 27 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. There is a very short water supply range.

This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top half. It is a good choice.
