Liberty 28
6 / 19 - score 54%
The Liberty 28 is a 28.0ft cutter designed by Joe Fennell and built in fiberglass since 1978.
70 units have been built.
The Liberty 28 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very 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 short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
