The Irwin 28 is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Ted Irwin and built in fiberglass by Irwin Yachts since 1970.
The Irwin 28 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
