I see there is data for the Mk2 and it states there were no significant changes operationally when they began building the Mk3 (only change being SS hardware vs bronze.
However there is nothing indicating if there were any changes when Hutchin’s ceased building the Mk1 and began building the Mk2. I believe they began production of the Mk2 in 1987 or 1989.
I own a 1986 Mk1 and am interested in learning if the specs listed for the Mk2 here are the same for my Mk1? Anybody know the answer to this question please share here. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Allen, We found a brochure for the original 27. It reports the same specs as the 27/2 and 27/3 so the hull appears to be unchanged with the subsequent versions. They report a sail area of 328 sq ft for the original 27. That increased to 380 sq ft for both the 27/2 and 27/3. However, from what we can tell, the rigs were the same, just the genoa’s overlap increased.
All that said, Com-Pac is still in business. Reaching out to them would be the best way to confirm any differences.
Hope this helps.
