The Contessa 28 is a 27.67ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Jeremy Rogers Ltd. since 1977.
The Contessa 28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
