The Santana 228 is an American sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a cruiser and first built in 1978. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

The Santana 228 is a development of the Santana 28, which it replaced in production. It uses the same hull design as the 28, but with a newly-designed, wedge-shaped coach house roof and a taller mast. ^{[1] [2] [5] [6]}

Production

The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States, from 1978 to 1980, with 47 boats completed, but it is now out of production. ^{[1] [2] [7] [8] [9] [10]}

Design

The Santana 228 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, an internally mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,500 lb (3,402 kg) and carries 2,550 lb (1,157 kg) of ballast. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. ^{[1] [2]}

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 408 sq ft (37.9 m²). ^[11]

The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h). ^[2]
