The Spacesailer 27, designed by Kim Swarbrick in the early 1970s, remains one of the most successful Western Australian production yachts ever built. Launched by Swarbrick Bros Yachts during a period when the Fremantle boatbuilding scene was gaining international recognition, the model was envisioned as a "biglittle" boat: a vessel capable of offshore passages and competitive club racing while remaining manageable for a family. Unlike many of its contemporaries that utilized lighter, more fragile laminates, the Spacesailer 27 was constructed with a robust handlaid fiberglass (GRP) hull and a lead fin keel, providing a level of structural integrity and stability that allowed it to transition easily from the flat waters of the Swan River to the challenging conditions of the Gage Roads and beyond to Rottnest Island.
