My son owns one in Kingston and won't get to sail
it for the next 3 years because of his coop program, so it's probably
time to sell. It's fundamentally sound with a good A4 and blown out
sails.

Wow. Access to an A4 on a Newport 27 would be a bitch G.


Not sure about the particular Newport 27 you sailed, but I used to own a
1984 and it had very good engine access. There was a hatch in the cockpit
sole, as well as complete access from the front (after removing the
companionway steps) and port side (through the very large lazarette).
