J/28
Description
The J/28 (1986–1988) is a 28′6″ pocket offshore cruiser designed for a short handed 2 person crew. The cockpit has ample seating for the intended purpose and the main sheet is on the aft end of the boom to make room for a dodger. The boat balances well in all conditions. The 3000 lb lead keel keeps the boat on its feet without the need for rail meat.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
