The Newport 27S is a 8.2-meter masthead sloop designed by Cuthbertson, Cassian, and C&C Design, built by Capital Yachts Inc. and Capital Yachts Corp. from 1974 to the present. It features a fin keel with a spade rudder, a beam of 2.8 meters, a draft of 1.3 meters, and a displacement of 2721 kg.2:10 Practical Sailor reviewed the Newport 27, noting its 6,000-pound displacement and hand-laid fiberglass hull with a lead keel.2:24 The design offers over six feet of standing headroom, making it a budget-friendly liveaboard option.4:06 The interior includes a V-berth, two six-foot settees, a galley with a sink, and a two-burner stove.4:41 With a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 17, the boat performs well in light air but requires early reefing in winds over 20 knots to manage weather helm.3:17 Practical Sailor recommends replacing original PVC gate valves on through-hulls due to sinking risks and suggests a composting head upgrade for the small six-gallon holding tank.2:00 Potential buyers should inspect for rotted deck cores, compromised rigging, and water intrusion at the keel attachment.6:50
