Let Tracy's rain barrel capacity be $$ T = 27 $$ quarts.

Beth's rain barrel has a capacity that is twice that of Tracy's, so:
$$
B = 2T = 2 \times 27 = 54 \text{ quarts}
$$

Trevor's rain barrel can hold 9 quarts less than Beth's. Therefore:
$$
R = B - 9 = 54 - 9 = 45 \text{ quarts}
$$

$$
\boxed{45}
$$
Trevor's rain barrel can hold 45 quarts of water.
