The Leisure 27 represents a significant evolution in the design trajectory of Cobramold Ltd., marking the brand's move from "pocket cruisers" into the realm of substantial coastal and offshorecapable family yachts. Designed by Frank Pryor and introduced in the late 1970s, the Leisure 27 was intended to bridge the gap between the immensely popular Leisure 23 and the larger Leisure 29. Unlike the Arthur Howarddesigned smaller models, the 27footer featured a more contemporary profile and a hull optimized for volume and stability. Built with the heavyduty GRP layups typical of the Essexbased yard, the model became a staple of the British East Coast and the Netherlands, favored by sailors who required a boat capable of handling the drying harbors and choppy waters of the North Sea.
