Schöchl Sunbeam 27.C Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Sunbeam 27.C, manufactured by the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachtbau, represents a pivotal era in European cruising design where build quality began to mirror the standards of highend Scandinavian yards. Produced primarily during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the 27.C (the "C" typically denoting the "Comfort" configuration) was designed as a robust family cruiser capable of handling both the light winds of Alpine lakes and the more demanding conditions of the Adriatic or North Seas. As noted by the manufacturer’s historical archives at Sunbeam Yachts, the 27 series was a foundational success for the Schöchl family, establishing their reputation for "handbuilt" precision and longevity that persists in their modern luxury range.
