The SR 27, designed by the prolific Glenn Henderson and eventually integrated into the C&C Yachts portfolio, represents a highwater mark for the "sportcruiser" philosophy of the early 1990s. Engineered to deliver blistering performance on the racecourse without entirely sacrificing the utility of a weekend getaway vessel, the SR 27 was a departure from the heavier, more conservative designs of its era. By utilizing advanced construction techniques such as vacuumbagging and epoxy resins—methods that were then the province of custom race shops—the SR 27 achieved a stiffnesstoweight ratio that allowed it to plane in moderate breezes while remaining manageable for a small crew. According to the technical archives at the C&C Photo Album, the model was part of a lineage that included the SR 25 and the larger SR 33, all of which shared Henderson’s signature focus on hydrodynamic efficiency and highaspect rigs.
