The Dufour 27 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
