Broker's Comments

The Leisure 27 was designed with over 6' of headroom throughout and a wide beam to provide excellent accommodation space in a cruising yacht.

This example appears to be tidy, having been maintained over the years. and lightly used. The rig is set-up for ease of handling and the machinery provides ample power for manoeuvring under engine.

The accommodation offers spacious comfort, with a C shaped saloon, with plenty of seating and a dinette which converts to a double berth. With a galley and a separate heads and a forward double cabin and plenty of storage, ideal for families.

The yacht would be suitable for a range of uses, including shallow waters, family / group sailing and coastal passage making. When I visited the boat I was impressed by its deep, cockpit and plenty of accommodation for it's size.

If you would like any more details or to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
