E27 review
I had an E27 for serveral years, and it's a great boat. Solid, roomy, reasonably fast and a great bargain in today's market. The deck is balsa core which is light and strong as long as the water is kept on the outside, so check for soft spots and leaks around fittings. Also check the chainplates for leaks and any problems with bulkheads from water. That's just pretty basic with any older boat. It won't point as high as some of the newer boats, but in heavy wind you'll love it. With good sails and a 150 genoa, you'll pass a lot more boats than pass you. At a broad reach those newer Hunters will think you must have you engine on to be walking away from them so fast.
