27' Heritage Marine Nor'Sea Norsea 27 aft cockpit

PROJECT To those expecting to set sail for the islands immediately, this is not ready. Needs cleaning in and out. The plywood around the windows needs replacing as portholes were left open for two years prior to my purchasing. These things are overbuilt to sail the world.

Nor'Sea 27 traditional aft cockpit, (NOT aft cabin, CENTER cockpit) tall rig factory finished. All original. Has not been in the water for 15 years. Most of it's life spent in Alaska. 1980 E-Z Loader two axle trailer that I put $4,117 in ten years ago. Surge brake removed, electric brakes added to both axles making it legal in all 50 states and Canada. Upgraded to 17.5" forged aluminum wheels and upgraded commercial tires. Each tire and wheel rated for 6,005lbs which is more than double the original plus I gained a little more clearance. In theory a flat tire will not overload the remaining tire. I went down the rabbit hole in being safe and tend to over-do everything I change.

I am the second owner and has been Coast Guard Documented since new. USCG bill of sale and PA Trailer Title. Brokers and resellers add your fee. Great Air B&B for people that want to test the waters for sleepover.

This was my retirement dream but life keeps getting in the way. My business stayed busy through covid and after. Even today at 71 I'm having a tough time with an exit plan. Health has thrown me a couple of curve balls and throwing in the towel. In the process of moving to NC and will not have time to do what I wanted.

Yanmar diesel was professionally winterized and laid up. Has not been started.

Located about 5 minutes from I-81. Need 3/4 or 1 ton with brake controller. I had it delivered with an F350 and the trailer at that time had no brakes and dry rotted leaking tires. I am back and forth between PA and NC.

Ground tackle, anchors, old electronics, spare tire same as the four on the trailer, two sets of sails, spare parts, backing plates, window/porthole gaskets. Interior is original factory finished. Two covered five gallon buckets of new anchor chain. I can't lift them and with the buckets I can move them by pulling out and placing a bucket at the end. Guessing 300lbs and 200'

I removed the rudder for safekeeping and wanted to do over and paint.

Nor'Sea owners can take pride and comfort in knowing they are staking their safety on one-of the strongest hulls ever built. Nor'Sea ballast is all lead, not iron or iron punchings, or old engine parts. All lead cast in resin! Lead is much more dense than iron, resulting in a more stable, stiffer sailing boat. The Nor'Sea 27 deck and cabin top is immensely strong. It is of fiberglass and wood composite construction. The cabin top is 1 1/4" thick. The decks are 1" thick; and the cabin sides are 3/4" thick. The hull-deck joint is the most critical area on any fiberglass boat. Most low-cost boats are built with the hull and deck fastened by an aluminum "H" channel into which the fiberglass is secured by pop rivets or self-tapping screws. Some of the better boats use a combination of self-tapping screws with a bolt every 12" (a la Westsail) or every 24" (a la Valiant 40). Consistent with our "super heavy duty" philosophy, the Nor'Sea uses a 1/4" stainless steel bolt and an aircraft stainless steel self-locking nut every six inches. The Nor'Sea rudder is two layers of fiberglass surrounding a very high density (12 Lb.) foam core. It will withstand repeated hammer blows or minor groundings without significant damage. The rudder pintles and gudgeons are comprised of nearly 40 IBS. of high tensile manganese bronze. The three massive sets of pintles and gudgeons provide immense security when great stresses are imposed by heavy weather. The Nor'Sea tiller cheeks are mahogany, with a heavy stainless steel reinforcement. The tiller itself is 16 laminations of ash and mahogany. Nor'Sea's are designed to sail oceans! (And Yes. They do.)

Email is best contact. I get over 100 spam phish phone calls a day and do not pick up unless it is a number I know. If I am in the shop working I do not hear the phone or text dings. Cash upon pick up, Western Union or bank wire. No checks, bank, personal, money order or bitcoin. Priced well under market.
