The Dockrell 27 is a robust, longkeeled cruiser that represents a significant chapter in the evolution of British production yachts. Its DNA is rooted in the Ian Andersondesigned Bowman 26 and the subsequent Hurley 27, two vessels renowned for their seaworthiness and traditional lines. When Dockrell Yachts Ltd. acquired the Hurley 27 moulds in the mid1970s, founder John Dockrell implemented several key modifications to tailor the vessel for both the UK and North American markets. The most distinctive of these changes was the adoption of a cutter rig with a selftacking staysail and the introduction of a wing keel ballast block, which allowed the boat to navigate shallower coastal waters without sacrificing the directional stability of a traditional long keel. Produced in Tavistock, Devon, until the early 1990s, the Dockrell 27 remains a favored choice for solo sailors and couples seeking a sturdy, "bigboat" feel in a compact 27foot frame.
