There are numerous Coronado 27's that have circumnavigated.
"Cut the Mustard" will be among them one of these days.

Of the 1,397 Coronado 27's that were built 1,386 still sail. Only
11 have sunk, burned or are otherwise unaccounted for. This is
a far better record than any old Prout or any brand of multi-hull
for that matter.


I'd really like to know where you found those stats - by "numerous" do you mean one person
thought about it? Perhaps you can post a link to some of these passage logs.

Your count of C27's seems real high, especially since the company went belly up a few
years after it was introduced. Are you sure that isn't a count of all the boats they
built?

Since Prout built 4 to 5000 cruising cats, and never had a capsize or sinking, you're
going to have trouble beating that record. I do recall a fire on one - the hull was later
converted to a commercial fishing boat!
