The Shipman 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a spooned raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) and carries 2,667 lb (1,210 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 5.09 ft (1.55 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a Faryman diesel engine of 8 to 12 hp (6 to 9 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. [1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a single stainless steel sink. A dinette table is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. [1] [2]

The maximum below-decks headroom is 71 in (180 cm) in the main cabin. The saloon has 62 in (157 cm) of headroom and the aft cabin 61 in (155 cm). [2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 646 sq ft (60.0 m2). It has a hull speed of 6.49 kn (12.02 km/h). [2]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club based in Denmark, that organizes racing events, the Shipman 28 Klubben (English: Shipman 28 Club). [8]

Matt Rutherford sailed an Albin Vega on the first solo non-stop circumnavigation of the Americas.
