Duchy 27

About

With over 35 launched to date, the Duchy 27 has developed a strong reputation for quality workmanship, reliability and seaworthiness. Designed by renowned British naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme, the Duchy 27 borrows much from Downeast tradition both above and below the waterline - featuring a stylish, practical wheelhouse, tumblehome aft, keel protected prop, a hard chine hull, and deep bow sections forward to safely handle the most challenging conditions with a soft ride.

The Duchy 27 is both an excellent day boat to accommodate family and friends, and a cozy weekender for two with an appealing highly finished interior. She is indeed a well proportioned design with rugged good looks - sweet to the eye from every angle. Highlights include:

  • Seating for ten with spacious aft cockpit seats, twin mid cockpit seats and dual helm/companion pedestal seats
  • Innovative hinged transom door stepping onto a large, molded swim platform with swim ladder
  • Molded pilothouse with great visibility and opening hatches and side windows
  • Molded steps, proper side decks, hand rails and bow rail to safely and easily get forward from the cockpit
  • Fucntional galley with sink, microwave oven and numerous storage lockers
