The Arundel 27 is conceived as a `day tripper` style of boat that will provide speeds up to 30 knots, maximum efficiency, low maintenance, and a hull design that will enable owners to safely access the most shallow of island and beach locations. According to Landing School Director Doug Dickey, Jr., `the Arundel 27 is intended to satisfy a variety of requirements in meeting the evolving needs of our curriculum and the industry at large, as well as fulfilling consumer demand.`

Cabin Accommodation
The interior of the Arundel 27 will feature a forward v-berth with a fully enclosed head to starboard and a small galley to port. Interior finish will be to the highest yacht standard in the `Herreschoff` style with bright mahogany fiddles and cappings, hardwood fronts and drawers on all cabinetry, and marine ply cabin sole finished with a Teak and Holly veneer. The cabin will be well-lighted via a large overhead Bomar stainless steel framed hatch in the coach roof, four screened and opening portlights in the cabin sides, and well placed electric lighting. Much of the boat`s interior furniture, which will be constructed from solid timber and marine plywood, has been designed to contribute to the vessel`s overall structural strength and integrity. Access to the forward cabin from the cockpit will be via sliding hatch and bi-fold, paneled doors hung on cast stainless steel hinges.
Cockpit
The Arundel 27 will feature a spacious cockpit with two captain`s seats forward and a large athwartships bench at the rear of the cockpit. The cockpit will be protected from the elements by a large windscreen, cockpit coamings, coach roof and coach roof sides, as well as a bimini top with removable side screens and rear drop curtain. Steering, engine controls and electronics and navigation instruments will be mounted in a helm console built into the cabin`s starboard aft bulkhead and coach roof. The cockpit sole will be cored fiberglass with scuppers at the rear sides, and fully weather tight access hatches.
