They have an Aries wind vane. Very robust, very reliable but very heavy and expensive as well. For the allegro27 the windpilot pacific light is also suitable. Much lighter, cheaper, but also very robust and reliable and good enough for ocean passages.
Hello, I am very interested in a Allegro 27 to go offshore. I would love your opinion about concerns when to buy and how long is headroom along the boat? Thanks, Paul
In my opinion, the Allegro27 is one of the best small offshore boats. On my recent Northatlantic tour I met one in Barbados, one in Bermuda, and one came in to La Corunna harbour coming from Sweden. One tough and trustworthy little boat for big dreams. Headroom in the pantry area should be around 1,76-1,78m, a bit forward of course less. Berths long enough to strech out and sleep for taller people. So good enough for short people to stand upright inside and for larger people to sit or sleep.
Meanwhile I bought an Allegro27. Headroom under the sliding hatch is about 1,73/4, a bit forward under its garage ist about 1,77m. Salon bunks are 2m long, their shoulder width is 0.80m(!!), forward the width for the feet is 0.60m. Very comfortable sleeping. Concerning seaworthyness: In principle excellent (was involuntarily out in a gale of about 25kn - 20-30+ - for about 15 hours, typical wave highth about 3m, some significantly higher), but be aware of possible leaks at the shrouds chainplates and and the deck-cabinroof-joint. After my up wind sailing under gale conditions for long hours I had 70l seawater in the very deep bilge. So I will have to do some work in winter to get her really watertight. But sie stayed perfecly under controle during these 15 hours, was still very able to sail to weather and benigne movements under these conditions.
