Latest Varne 27 Review:
Sailing Today May 2008
"Duncan Kent ... sails a curvaceous classic, the Varne 27 which ... handles like a dream"
"The Varne 27 is an old school classic in the mould of the Nicholsons, Contessas and Rustlers of her day. She is fast and formidable in a good blow while remaining impeccably mannered. Her motion at sea is supremely smooth, as you'd expect from a deep-veed hull with long overhangs, and she is built to withstand a storm at sea with little consequence" "A Perfect Sense of Proportion", "The little known Varne 27 is a treat for those who want a compact, well behaved and seakindly offshore cruiser", "Downright Gorgeous" "steady as a rock off the wind" |

"the best second
hand boat
you've never heard of"
"beautifully balanced, close-winded
and with a motion that could rock you to sleep, she
was clearly designed for the
kind of weather
most people try to avoid"
PBO Feb 2000 (issue 398)
"... a sweet handler
with the sort of directional stability I would
expect from a long keeled design ... not a fussy
boat to sail... partly due to her balance"
Yachting Monthly Nov 1974
"deliciously
responsive, well mannered and enjoys being sailed
... I urge you to try her"
PBO November 1977
