/ Quarken 27 T-Top
The Quarken 27 T-top, a 2023 Motorboat Awards winner, has plenty of desirable features, including speed and easy handling
The design brief was for a fast weekender with excellent performance. We met the client’s requirements by way of a twin-stepped hull, enabling the boat to plane effortlessly. With her flared bow, sleek hull and tinted panels, it delivers in the looks department too.
We created a mock-up of the boat, and scrutinised it carefully in order to achieve the highest level of user-friendliness. We attained this objective through features such as an effective helm position, with a skipper’s cleat for single-handed docking, and a step-through forepeak.

Another point of distinction is that we designed the boat around its F300 Yamaha outboard motor. The result is a craft with a top speed of 43 knots and a fuel efficiency of 1.5 litres per nautical mile when cruising, a combination that gives it the edge over the competition.
With the boat’s serviceable cuddy, comprising a double bed, sink and toilet, there is no reason why a last-minute outing can’t be extended into a longer getaway. And with seats that can be rigged for dining or sunbathing, users seeking versatility won’t lack for anything.
"Everything on the Quarken 27 T-top was fitted to serve one purpose only: to make users’ days onboard easier and more enjoyable."
