The Sunbeam 27, a product of the venerable Schöchl Yachtbau in Mattsee, Austria, represents a significant chapter in European boatbuilding history. Launched in the late 1970s and produced through the 1980s, it served as a bridge between the shipyard’s origins in artisanal carpentry and its modern status as a premiere manufacturer of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) cruising yachts. Designed primarily for the demanding, often fickle winds of the Alpine lakes and the coastal waters of the Mediterranean and Baltic, the Sunbeam 27 was engineered to be a "pocket cruiser" that did not compromise on the craftsmanship typically reserved for much larger vessels. This model was instrumental in establishing the brand's identity—often described as the "Austrian Swan"—due to its robust construction and high-quality mahogany interiors.
