MG Yachts 27

The MGC27 is a fast and agile cruiser with a blend of responsiveness, easy handling and good manners that few can resist. The practical layout includes a separate heads aft, good sized galley and aft double cabin. 'Megan' had a new Beta engine fitted in 2018 and is the lift keel version of the MGC27 making her ideal for exploring the East Coast rivers.
