Hi,
Does anyone have any info on the Compass 28 and Pacific 27 Sloop. I'm
looking to buy one or the other and haven't found much info
particularily on the Pacific 27. I believe these are both Aussie boats

Cheers


Yep, they are Aussie boats!

The Compass Owner's Group is the best place for info

The Pacific 27 was built by Compass Yachts who also built a 26 foot version.
The Compass 28 was also stretched out to make the Compass 29.
I own a 29 and a lovely boat it is, with good interior space and storage.
The 29 does have a fair bit more cabin space than the 28 but many say the 28
sails better as it's a sleeker hull. The 28 and 29 are full keelers, bit on
the heavy side but great sea boats. Some of them have cruised the Pacific
Islands.

I don't know that much about the Pacific 27 but it is a fin keeler with skeg
hung rudder.
