The Precision 28 is an American sailboat that was designed by Jim Taylor as a cruiser and first built in 1997. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The design was later developed from the 1989 Precision 27 by extending the transom and installing a swimming step. [4] [5]

Production

The design was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production. Only a small number were built. [1] [3] [5] [6]

Design

The Precision 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel with a lead bulb weight. It displaces 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) and carries 1,900 lb (862 kg) of ballast. [1] [3] [5]

The boat has a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m) with the standard keel. [1] [3]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 9 U.S. gallons (34 L; 7.5 imp gal). [1] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located beside the companionway on the starboard side and includes a sink. [1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h). [3]

Operational history

The designer notes, "the boats are comfortable and sailed well, and are quite popular with their owners." [5]
