The Impala 27 is a fast, well-balanced Danish design that is easy to handle and offers very good sailing performance. At the same time, it provides a surprisingly spacious and comfortable interior.
The Impala 27 can easily be handled single-handed and is equally well suited to comfortable cruising with a small family. It is also very manoeuvrable in the harbour.
The boat is in good condition and is now in its ninth season with the current owner. It has been carefully maintained throughout this period, with equipment continuously upgraded and renewed where appropriate.
The Impala 27 truly sets itself apart through its sailing performance in combination with the comfort and space it offers below deck. The combination of this level of comfort and space with such good sailing performance is quite unusual for a boat of this size. Boats like the Albin Express or the X-79 do not come close to the Impala 27.
After sailing from Höga Kusten via the Aland Islands to Stockholm, the boat can be inspected at Svinninge Marina.
