The Sirius 28 can is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Hubert Van de stadt and built in fiberglass by Vandestadt and McGruer Ltd. (CAN) between 1982 and 1987.
120 units have been built.
The Sirius 28 can 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 very small. There is a very short water supply range.
