The Parker 275, introduced in 1990, represents the pinnacle of Bill Parker’s vision for a highperformance, shallowdraft cruiser. Designed by the renowned naval architect Tony Castro, the 275 was not merely an update of the preceding Parker 27 (itself a refined Super Seal 26) but an entirely new hull designed to address the primary limitation of its predecessors: interior volume. While the Super Seal and Parker 27 were legendary for their speed, they lacked the standing headroom and amenities required for extended family cruising. The 275 solved this by utilizing a deeper, more modern hull form while retaining the signature liftingkeel system that defined the G.W. Parker & Son legacy. It remains a soughtafter vessel for coastal sailors who refuse to choose between the ability to explore tidal estuaries and the need for genuine offshore performance.
