Overview

About this vessel

Spinner is a well-kept Northshore 27. An honest, capable 5-berth cruiser-racer that delivers exactly what this design is known for: simple handling, solid Australian construction, and the right blend of performance and comfort for coastal sailing. Her fractionally-rigged sail plan, furling genoa, and updated stainless rigging (NEW 2025) make her an easy, rewarding boat for shorthanded sailors and weekend adventurers alike. Below decks, she offers a practical two-cabin layout with accommodation for five. Headroom is a respectable 177 cm, and the interior is set up for straightforward cruising with a large insulated icebox, ample storage, and everything needed for relaxed time aboard. Powered by a Volvo Penta 13 hp diesel showing just 287 hours, Spinner cruises efficiently at 5 knots and sips fuel at only 1.5lph. With a versatile sail wardrobe, she's ready for club racing, day sailing, or exploring the Tasmanian coast. Currently berthed at RYCT Marina and priced attractively, she's a smart entry into keelboat ownership.
