The Nor'Sea 27, or Norsea 27, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Lyle Hess as cruiser and first built in 1976.
[5] The Nor'Sea 27 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and a plywood-cored deck.
Both have a galley located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder, equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink.
[1] A review in Blue Water Boats noted, "the Nor'Sea 27 is a small but rugged pocket-cruiser with live-aboard comfort and seaworthiness at the heart of her design.
Unfazed, Hess came up with this tough and traditionally styled 27-foot double-ender which is transportable between oceans if not strictly trailerable.
