Overview
The Edge is an integrated design that blends the beauty of
sailing with the flexibility of a powerboat. Some call it
a sailing hybrid. One very nice aspect of a trailer-able
boat with a big outboard engine, is that for maintenance and
repairs, you simply haul the boat and the engine to the shop on
the trailer. The hull shape is in many ways the key to the
Edge’s versatility. The wide, shallow V-shape forward and flat
beamy aft sections promote easy planing and power and a
considerable amount of initial stability under sail. It also
allows for the boat to be beached. The walk-through
transom provides unfettered access to the water. The
cockpit is uncluttered, as the halyards are on the mast and the
small jib is self-tending and controlled by a single sheet on
the coach roof.
Features Below
The interior of the Edge is remarkable, it’s hard to believe
that you’re in a 27-foot trailer-able boat. A legitimate double
berth is located aft of the companionway ladder, tucked under
the cockpit. The small but functional galley is to starboard and
includes a stainless steel sink and icebox. A one-burner stove
and pressurized water are desirable options. The head is
opposite with a practical and green porta potty standard. A
through-hull marine head is an option.
The saloon features a center-line table that conceals the
center-board trunk housing and twin facing settees. There’s
another double berth forward. The interior is bright,
thanks to the large portlights and light-colored finish and
fabrics.
