Design
Designed by Robert Perry, the fibreglass hull has an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and fixed fin keels. Ballast is encapsulated inside a fibreglass keel.
Early versions had a BMW powerplant of 7 hp (5 kW), which some owners found underpowered and that led to the Westerbeke engine of 10 hp (7 kW) being substituted. The fuel tank holds 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 14 U.S. gallons (53 L; 12 imp gal).
They all have fractional sloop rigs.
The original production run boatshad Barient winches, tufted crushed velour cushions, oversized spars, pulpit and lifelines, and internal halyards.
It has a cabin suited to cruising.
The Aloha 27 has a PHRF racing average handicap of 207 and a hull speed of 6.53 kn (12.09 km/h).
