The following information and photographs are displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical.  Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.  The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines.

Halcyon 27

Price Guide

£9,000 to £12,000

Brief details

A classic small offshore cruiser - a tough, seaworthy little boat with useful accommodation, and thanks to the deep hull form quite good headroom than in many comparable sized boats.

The Halcyon 27 was designed in 1968 by Alan Buchanan, as a development of the earlier 'Diamond II' design, and about 200 were built by Offshore Yachts. With a full keel and transom-hung rudder, they are a solid cruising boat with good sailing performance in all conditions

The accommodation consists of vee-berth forecabin, heads with hanging locker opposite, and in the saloon two settee berths, galley and chart table. Headroom is about six feet in the doghouse

Below: The galley and chart table are by the companionway, this being the standard layout for the class (though a few were fitted out differently to give six berths)
