Design 2241 Alpa A27
Sparkman & Stephens designed 9 production sailing yacht models for Alpa Yachts of Cremona, Italy between 1969 and 1977. Alpa was one of the first fiberglass production builders in Europe and was highly regarded. The A27 was introduced in 1976. Like many of the Alpa line, the A27 was a relatively big volume cruising boat.
When Alpa ceased operation in 1977, the A27 molds were moved to the Zuanelli yard and production continued as the Z30.
Here are the plans.

LWL 23-0"
