Production

The design was built by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States, starting in 1975, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [5] [6]

Design

The Newport 27-3 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,000 lb (2,722 kg). [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 5.16 ft (1.57 m) with the standard keel. [1] [2]

The boat may be optionally fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal). [1] [2]

The design was factory delivered with two different cabin layouts. The "aft-cabin" arrangement has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder, with a two-burner stove to starboard and an ice box and sink to port. The head is located just aft of the galley on the port side. [1] [2]

The "traditional" layout has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder, with a two-burner stove to starboard and an ice box and sink to port. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.29 kn (11.65 km/h). [2]
