The boat is equipped with 4 berths, a galley and 50.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The Ærø 27 is equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
Unknown keel type
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.80 - 0.90 meter (2.62 - 2.92 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Ærø 27 may be equipped with an inboard Farymann engine at 24 hp (17 kW).
The fuel tank has a capacity of 16.0 liters (4 US gallons, 3 imperial gallons).
