The Precision 27 is a 27.0ft fractional sloop designed by Jim Taylor and built in fiberglass by Precision Boat Works since 1989.
The Precision 27 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small.
