Default Captain Neal, He's da MAN!


My Coronado was made in 1971 and is hull number 91

That works out to over 400 boats in four years. JUST
the same pace as the C&C 27.

Everbody who knows anything at all knows the
C&C 27 is a joke of a boat.

It's small, it's lightly built, it uses cheap fittings,


Unlike the Coronado which gets the "cheapest construction" nod from Don Casey:

it's slower than a well-sailed Coronado 27, it isn't


But the Coronado PHRH is 230, while the C&C is 180 for the Mark 3.

even half as seaworthy as a Coronado 27 and I
could go on and on. The poor little C&C 27 was
knocked out of a mold on the cheap as a day
sailer and entry level round the buoys pretend
racer. It has no heritage, it has no class, it has
no real value.


That's not what the review says:

Almost 1000 C&C 27s were made in a 12 year run. The Coronado 27 only had a 4 year run
before the company went belly up.
