I consider the H-28 to be one of the great sailboat designs. Lots of examples in wood & fiberglass.

Nor’Sea 27

This design by Lyle Hess is one that appeals to people who like traditional styled boats that are small enough to trailer, but also designed for cruising on the oceans. Boats of this design have traveled far and safely. It is a highly regarded “pocket cruiser.”

Most of the ones I have seen on the market are much more expensive than this one. This one looks like it needs some TLC. That said, this could be a good boat for a person who is willing to make some improvements. The location is Kansas, but this boat is on a trailer and so can be moved on its own trailer.

The ad does mention some cosmetic issues (paint peeling) and the photos show a boat that does appear to need TLC.

Asking Price = $15,000

Location = Kansas (but this is a boat on a trailer)

Full Keel
Length 27'
Beam 8"
Draft 3.83'
Displacement 8,100 lbs
Ballast 3100 lbs
Ballast type-lead

My Disclaimers and Requests

I have no financial or other connection to this boat or the seller.
I have not seen this boat in person, nor have I sailed on it.
As with any boat, it is a good idea to research the design to learn about how they sail, common problems and owner opinions.
As with any boat, it is smart to have a qualified yacht surveyor perform a survey of the boat to assess its condition.
I am posting this to help others find boats. This one caught my eye, and I hope this thread helps others find a good fit for them.
I hope this thread proves helpful to CF Members. If so, let me know, as it is nice to know the time spent on it has helped others.
IF you purchase this boat, let me know (a PM would be OK).
IF you purchase this boat, I would enjoy seeing it, or going for a sail on it, if I am ever in your area. Or, if you own a similar or sister boat send me a PM. I enjoy sailing on a wide variety of boats and would like to get some time on many designs, including this one.

The Nor'Sea 27 is a really cool boat that is trailerable and a blue water cruiser at the same time. I'm not a fan of the center cockpit/aft cabin layout in a boat this size but luckily it came in an aft cockpit version.

Ahoy Readers!

I have not posted many photos of boats in this thread recently. There is a reason. I have encountered a snag in my usual process. Perhaps you can help me identify the solution.

My normal process has been to find the boat using my ipad, when I find a boat I think looks fitting for this thread concept, I simply copy/save that photo to my iPad, and then later upload it here in this thread, after writing a profile about that boat model. I copy the photos from various boat listing sites, but most are from Yachtworld (YW).

What’s the problem?
Recently, when I visit Yachtworld, I cannot get my iPad to copy/save the photos of the boats. I have tried numerous times. I do have a new iPad Pro, running iOS 11.4 operating system. But, it appears that the YW site itself has a new type of photo display slide show or some kind of change that prevents a simple “copy/save/paste” of the photos of boats. When I try, I do not see the normal “copy/save” dialog box menu. It appears blank, or nothing happens. I am not a tech person, so not sure how to describe this, but I suspect it is something related to the YW site software, or how the photos are displayed on that site as a slideshow. I could be wrong.

So, I would like to ask you readers of this thread to try this yourself. See if you have the same problem copying a photo of a boat from YW to your iPad. Report back by sending me a PM or post in this thread. A few tests should confirm this. Just go to a typical YW ad, and select one of the photos of a boat, and try to copy/save it to your iPad using the typical “hold finger on image, select copy/save from pop up menu” method. Or describe the method that works for you. Or if you too are unable to use that method to copy/save a photo from the YW boat slides.

I would like to find a solution to this so I can continue to share the photos of these boats here to help others find good boats.

Thanks. Your help or advice on this is appreciated.

I've noticed the same problem. Not sure what the work around is. Yachtworld probably considers the photos their property. We may have to use representative photos of different boats off the internet. You can still paste a link to the listing to go with that.

Is a screen capture possible on an iPad?

[leboyd]

I noticed a change in YW also. I suspect they don't want people pulling down their (do they own these?) photos.

I would think blowing up the photo and doing the screen capture would work.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion or observation.

I did consider doing a screen capture (easy on an ipad) but at this moment I am not sure I want to use that method for the many photos I tend to use to illustrate this thread (and others). I will need to think about it a bit.

As for just pasting the link in this thread, I considered that too, but I prefer to illustrate this thread (and others) as I think we can all learn from looking at the photos, and those photos help people viewing CF learn on CF, without having to go to another site to see any photos.

I also considered using a photo of a representative boat (sister ship) too. My concern there is that new viewers of this thread will think that photo shows the boat that is linked (that is for sale) when it may be a different model or year or something else that is different.

My purpose here on this thread is to illustrate and inform, and to provide others with a notice of a noteworthy boat on the market, or a type of boat to consider.

I may just have to compromise something, adapt, and choose a different method.

Yes. Possible and I do use screen capture occasionally.

But, it has not been my proven method (the simple select/copy/save method).

I will consider doing screen captures. Just not sure I want to do that (as it may mean editing the screen captures, or will create more sloppy images).

I agree with you, that the reason is probably YW trying to keep the photos on their site, to make it more difficult for other brokers to try to use those photos, etc.

I am considering screen capture as an alternative, but it is more cumbersome with the results and may require me to edit some of the photos to eliminate some unneeded screen elements, etc.

How to “View Source” from Safari on an iPad or iPhone

Hope this helps

That does help. Thank you for proposing a possible solution.

But that also involves more steps than I want to take for each photo. I usually COPY/SAVE about 10-12 photos for each boat profile I create here on CF, and I spend a lot of time doing so, but I don’t want to add complexity or more time to capture each of those 12 photos.

I may have to adapt or change my methods and what I share here.

Thanks for taking the time to propose a possible solution. I am just not inclined to add a more techy method and time to my process.

Go Android, can be like $20 secondhand.

Spare phone for using burner SIMs too, great for CL dealings, dating sites whatever.
