The boat is typically equipped with a Wickström gasoline engine at 7.0 hp (5 kW), which gives a max speed about 3.4 knots.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Halcyon 27 is 1.60, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Halcyon 27 is about 95 kg/cm, alternatively 535 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 95 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 535 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Whay do you knpow about these boats? Interestedin a 1973 version for long distance cruising. Any info welcomed- thanks <hr width=100% size=1>  

I owned one for about 14 years and cruised Cornwall, Scillies, France and Northern Spain. They are very tough and seaworthy. I always felt safe, even in quite rough seas. Bear in mind though that they are quite small compared to a modern 27 footer. Mine was a 1969 model and was fitted with a 8 HP SABB motor with variable pitch prop. This was totally reliable and made an excellent motor sailing engine but lacked the power to make much headway into rough seas. I can't recollect having to replace anything due to wear and tear in all the time that I owned her. Hope this helps, Henry <hr width=100% size=1>  

I had a halcyon 23 for 5 seasons and did 2500 miles overall down channel and round thames estuary. Loved her to bits but 23' really much too small for long term cruising. Have heard v good things about the 27' and they have been used a lot for cruising. Visit the OOffshore Yachts Class Owners assn (OYCOA) webiste (if it is still exisiting) www.oycoa.org.uk . Their latest newsletter has a good story of a delivery of an H27 from the East coast to Scilly. Besides all teh standard things on on any boat: a) has she got a newer engine thatn 1973?! b) Halcyons historically are weak at the deck/hull join and can leak there. Check v carefully and consider costs of remediation c) lots of them were painted in duckegg blue, which fades to a unrepeatable colour - it can't be matched ... this may not be an issue on the boat you're looking at. Best of luck <hr width=100% size=1>Sarah&Pip  

Boat is for 18 year old to go off in- agree boat is quite small inside but seems ok for 1-2 youngsters. I understand they sail well but have been told they can be a bit tender- what do you think? Any problems with the hull? The one we are interested in has been regelcoated-red-and I am wondering if that is to hide anything. Thanks for your help. <hr width=100% size=1>  

Mine had been regelcoated by the previous owner. I was very suspicious of this as it seemed very unusual but I had no problems. It also was never fitted with an anode which again seems odd but nothing wore away nor dropped off so it couldn't have been needed. They are on the "tender" side - i.e. they heel a lot, so remember to take in a reef early - you will go just as fast, in more comfort. We cruised a lot with 4 on board, 2 adults and our 2 children who were in their teens. This wasn't a problem while the weather was good but I must admit that is wasn't a lot of fun when it was wet. When I bought mine it seemed to be the best that I could get for serious cruising for the money and I guess that still is the case. Regards, Henry <hr width=100% size=1>  

Had one for 11 years and cruised extensively Scottish West Coast with wife and two kids. Devastated when she was sunk by new owners...By the way there is an anode within the heat exchanger on Sabb 8hp. <hr width=100% size=1>  

well we've put in an offer subject to survey and fingers crossed- if all goes well daughter intends to leave school next week and move aboard! I am wondering if we are doing the right thing now!!!!!! <hr width=100% size=1>  

• 10 Jun 2003

I moved aboard my boat at 16 years old, it was a Sadler 25, a great boat. I'm sure she is doing the right thing. Ellen Mac's Auntie had a Halcyon 27 and that's what inspired her, you must have read the book by now... <hr width=100% size=1>  

• 30 Jun 2003

If it does not work out see the Halcyon big brother bellow! Paul <hr width=100% size=1>Paul <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.polarity2.com/Clipper.htm>http://www.polarity2.com/Clipper.htm</A>  

• 17 Jul 2003

If your purchase does not work out you might like to consider my Halcyon CLIPPER 27 (also by Offshore yachts). The CLIPPER has bigger accomodation than the Halcyon 27 (due to very small side decks) It has a Fin keel. You can view my boat at www.billdick.btinternet.co.uk <hr width=100% size=1>BillD  

Sorry- daughter has now bought halcyon 27 and is currently living onboard preparing for the BOG ADVENTURE- circumnavigation. Good luck with selling your boat! <hr width=100% size=1>  

Just caught up with your post. We own a Halcyon 27 that the previous owner modified for long distance cruising, USA, West Indies, Azores, Med, Gib and back to the UK. Will drop you a private mail with our phone number, we can give you gen on there problems and mods, boat is in Cornwall. Brian <hr width=100% size=1>

Broker's Comments

This Halcyon Clipper 27 makes a pleasant and unusual alternative to the ubiquitous Westerly Centaur. Her Clipper looks suggest that she will be a capable long-distance cruiser, and her wide side-decks and deep cockpit inspire confidence. Also confidence-inspiring is the Volvo diesel engine, new in 2009. Capable of accommodating up to five adults and a child, this charming and unusual vessel will appeal to families and salty dogs alike.

Broker's Comments

The Halcyon 27 needs no long winded introduction here. Those that know them, love them. This boat model has an active following. This particular one is of the rare bilge keel version, which is very handy in this part of the world. Boatshed (Plymouth) has listed and previously sold this boat to the owner who has now placed her for sale with us again, as he is now upgrading with a new yacht. It is possible to find her advert from that time as search engines can still find the deleted page from that original advert. That advert and this read very similarly as the boat has not changed in that time (except, new electronic, new sails and a couple more engine hours). The pictures we have published are taken by us 06/01/2021

Broker's Comments

The owner has asked this boat to go to a good home, hence the realistic price.Coming from a well known builder this boat needs some loving detail to bring that wow factor back. Required is time in labour and cleaning with also a paint brush for that varnishwork. I noticed that 2 feet of rubbing strake was missing on the port side and a pop rivet is required on the mast spreader. A previous owner has sail this boat from the Baltic sea to the Med. via the Bay of Biscay.

Overall a lot of boat that has good sea keeping with a good cockpit shelter for any weather that can be thown at it. Yes the Price ONLY £4500.00 ! a bargin that just requires some hard work to make her sparkle again.

Halcyon Clipper 26

Halcyon Clipper 26 is a 26 ′ 2 ″ / 8 m monohull sailboat designed by Alan Buchanan and built by Offshore Yachts Ltd. starting in 1971.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
