Trump 27
Description
The Trump 27 is a rare, compact masthead ketch designed and built in very limited numbers by Aborn "Abom" Smith Jr. (sometimes spelled Aborn Smith) through his small operation, Trump Yachts, in the early 1970s (primarily around 1972). It is a traditional, heavy-displacement pocket cruiser with full-length keel lines, emphasizing simplicity, seaworthiness, and liveaboard potential in a small package rather than high performance.
