Standfast Loper 27 ready for new voyages
Anyone looking for a classic sailing yacht with character, a comfortable size, and a name that rings a bell with many sailors will quickly end up with the Standfast Loper 27. This 1976 Standfast Loper 27 was designed by Frans Maes and measures 8.20 metres in length and 2.70 metres in beam. With a draft of 1.50 metres, she feels at home on lakes and rivers, but also on more open waters such as the Grevelingen or coastal waters—provided you choose the weather and your planning wisely. She is built in polyester (GRP) and has a displacement of approximately 2,300 kg, giving her a solid and steady feel under sail.
The current owner bought her in 2024 and has since clearly put a lot of effort into making the boat neat and comfortable again. For example, the deck has been addressed in areas where previous leaks had caused wood rot in the balsa core. The deck was replaced there, including a new intermediate layer, with photo documentation available. In June 2024 she was also completely repainted, and the interior woodwork has been revarnished as well. These are improvements you not only see, but also notice when you step aboard and everything feels fresh and well cared for.
Standfast Loper 27 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 24 August 2026.
What makes this Standfast Loper 27 such a pleasure to sail?
She is known for her pleasant sailing characteristics, which matches the owner’s experience: the boat is easy to sail single-handed, powers up quickly, and likes to sail close-hauled. With a single mast and an aluminium mast section, her rig is straightforward, while still offering plenty of trim options thanks to the sail inventory. On board there are six sails in total, including jib, genoa and mainsail, supplemented by a reaching sail (halfwinder) and a spinnaker. The headsail has a furling system, making reefing and rolling away underway practical. Sail covers are included for both jib and mainsail; the furling jib cover was purchased in 2024 and the mainsail cover in 2025.
How is she equipped for weekends away and holidays?
Inside she offers four fixed berths, with standing headroom of about 1.75 metres. This makes her suitable for a weekend away for two, or a compact holiday with family or friends. The accommodation includes a dinette, and there is a fridge, cooker and oven on board, so you can comfortably cook for yourself on longer trips as well. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 120 litres. The toilet is manual and discharges directly overboard. Heating is fitted in the form of hot-air heating (Truma), although the owner indicates they have not used it themselves.
Outside she is fitted with practical features you like to see on a sailing yacht in this class: a self-draining cockpit, pulpit and pushpit, fenders and lines, and a swim ladder. For winter storage there is a full boat cover (deck tent), as shown in the photos. Included in the sale are, among other things, fenders, a boat hook, broom, bucket, new mooring lines, and available documentation for the boat and engine.
What can you expect from the engine and electrics?
For harbour manoeuvres and relaxed motoring she is equipped with a Perkins three-cylinder diesel inboard engine of 19 hp with electric start. The stated consumption is around 1.5 litres per hour, with a diesel tank of approximately 40 litres. Cruising speed is about 10 km/h and maximum speed around 12 km/h, depending on conditions. On-board instruments include a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge.
Electrically she is set up for 12V and 220V with shore power, alternator, battery charger and voltmeter. Two batteries are on board with a total capacity of 175 Ah. In August 2025 the domestic battery and starter battery were replaced. A new masthead light has also been installed in the mast, which is beneficial for visibility and safety.
What work has been carried out recently?
She was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024 and received an antifouling treatment that same year. Important to mention is the deck renovation: the deck was repaired where there was wood rot, including a new core, after which the deck is hard and watertight again. In addition, almost all lines have been replaced, the engine cooling hoses have been renewed, and in 2025 the side windows were replaced so you can once again see clearly outside. All of this makes her an attractive option for anyone looking for a Standfast Loper 27 for sale with recent, tangible improvements.
This sailing yacht is moored directly on the Westeinder, a location that invites you to head straight out onto the water. If you are looking for an 8-metre GRP sailing yacht with a Perkins diesel, four berths and a sail plan that allows both relaxed cruising and sporty sailing, then this Standfast Loper 27 is a warm invitation to get to know her better via BoatAuction.
