The Aloha 8.2, also known as the Aloha 27, is a Bob Perry design. Perry really understands Great Lakes cruising requirements and he has designed a spacious boat with excellent ergonomics for comfortable, safe and efficient sail & boat handling. Aloha Yachts built very solid, attractive looking boats with a somewhat traditional look and lots of rich teak inside. My Tyme has a good equipment list and is in terrific shape, freshly inspected and detailed professionally. Her hull was painted only a couple of years ago and shows like new. Interior teak has been maintained at a high-level and the cushions were re-upholstered within the past couple of years. She also has the more powerful and reliable Westerbeke inboard diesel, not the saildrive.My Tyme will be an excellent daysailer / coastal cruiser for new sailors or experienced sailors wanting a competent comfortable pocket cruiser.
