Monday 20th February 2023

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to announce the successful sale of the 1981 Varne 27 ‘SINGING BIRD’.

Described as “the best second-hand boat you’ve never heard of” by Practical Boat Owner magazine the Varne 27 is something of a cult classic. Designed in the mid 1970’s by Duncan Stuart the design was built in the UK by Varne Marine Ltd with approximately 100 hulls moulded, some being offered in kit form for home finishing. A classic style of design with a deep-V hull and long overhangs the Varne 27 is regarded as being a well mannered sea boat which is quiet at home beating to windward in heavy weather.

The Varne 27 SINGING BIRD is lying afloat and incommission her inventory including:

• Beta Marine B16 marine diesel engine
• Simrad tiller pilot
• Garmin GPS map 620 plotter
• Garmin GPS128
• Icom DSC VHF

Wintering afloat the Varne 27 SINGING BIRD will remain on her berth at Ardfern Yacht Centre before setting off with her new owners to explore the waters of Scotland’s west coast later this summer.
