The Northshore 27 is a seminal vessel in the history of production fiberglass boatbuilding, representing a balance between competitive club racing and reliable coastal cruising. While the Northshore name is associated in Europe with the shallowdraft Southerly range and the heavydisplacement Vancouver line—as established by Northshore Yachts (UK) and Fairways Marine—the Northshore 27 is the definitive product of the Australian Northshore Yachts yard. Designed by the acclaimed naval architect Hank Kaufman and launched in the late 1970s, the model became one of the most successful production yachts in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 200 hulls produced. It was conceived during an era where cruiserracers were required to be "allrounders," offering enough stiffness to handle offshore conditions while remaining manageable for a small family or a solo sailor.
