Details
Whilst only four were ever made, the Top Hat 27 was considered an improvement on the already well respected Illingworth & Primrose designed Top Hat 25 from which the boat was widened, the bow extended, 30% more sail area added and it's lead ballast increased to 48% ballast to weight ratio. Mad Hatter presents in average condition for her age and could do with new rigging and a sparkle up inside. She is though a very well built boat with good volume below, standing headroom to 185cm. She comes with a sail wardrobe in good condition, a sound hull showing no signs of issues during her last antifoul conducted late last year and she has a sweet 18hp, 2012 installed diesel with just over 350hrs. She offers exceptional value for money and would be the ideal first boat or for those simply looking to get on the water with a limited budget.
