J28
8 / 48 - score 59%
The J28 is a 28.5ft fractional sloop designed by Rod Johnstone and built in fiberglass by J Boats between 1986 and 1988.
71 units have been built.
The J28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
