Halcyon 27 for sale in CONWY United Kingdom

Remarks : The Halcyon 27 is a very well respected boat, possibly one of the best small offshore yachts ever designed, with her long keel and thick fiberglass typical of 70s boats, Corycia is a very safe and solid boat, many have been Transatlantic and a few have recorded circumnavigations of the world.

The potential new owner should read countless forums and reviews of the Halcyon 27, where nothing negative will be found, in fact the reverse is true.

Due to a lack of time and living abroad the current boatbuilder owner has been unable to properly carry out painting of hull and decks, everything else is functioning as it should, sails are in good condition and the engine is one of the most simple and reliable. Apart from cosmetic work Corycia is "ready to go" anywhere.

Beneath an admittedly sad and shabby exterior, is a very substantial and well equipped boat, deserving of perhaps a months worth of TLC to bring her back to a very pretty traditional looking boat.

Corycia would prove a sensible purchase particularly for someone on a limited budget with plans to venture further afield, she is not a "floating caravan" she looks and sails as a yacht should, perfectly at home in wild weather conditions.
