Falmouth Packet 27

Eastlight II is a beautiful Falmouth Packet 27 classic family wheel house cruiser.  Built in 1993 she has an immensely strong and rigid wood composite hull created using concave and convex edged strip cedar plank 32mm x 19mm. This is then "double diagonal planked" with 3mm Khaya, using epoxy resins and, stainless steel staples, before a final 7mm thick Brazilian Mahogany longitudinal planking is laminated to give a handsome traditional appearance.

Twin Yanmar 88hp diesels on shaft with aquadrives for vibration free running.

After testing her PBO concluded "She may not be one of the cheapest twenty-seven footers on the market, but she must be one of the best, in terms of handling, quality of construction and engineering detail, and beauty of finish. Without doubt, a gentleman's motor cruiser."

A small refit costing in excess of £35k was carried out in 2023, following a survey in October 2022 to address all the recommendations identified and some additional enhancements.  The survey and full documentation of works undertaken is available on request.

Accommodation

In the forward cabin there are two full length "V" berths with lockers under them and small lockers above to port and starboard.  There is a peak locker for "alternative" storage of anchoring gear.  Aft of this on the port side, the toilet compartment has a shower facility as well as the basin and marine toilet.

Opposite to starboard is a midships cabin that utilises the space beneath the wheelhouse dining area.  The 1.9m x 1.06m is ideal for one adult or two small children.

A dining table to starboard is designed to convert to another full size double berth.  Behind the dining area a new fridge has been custom fitted. The helming position, which is set "traditionally" to the wheelhouse port side, with morse controls conveniently positioned for the helms left hand.  There is about 1.95m headroom in the main saloon which provides excellent all round visibility from the helming position.

Aft of the helms position is a useful galley with a four burner gas hob and sink.  Below this, drawers provide ample storage for plates, pans and cutlery.
