Yamaha 28 S Ltd
Description
The Yamaha 28 S Ltd (also listed as Yamaha 28 S LTD) is a Japanese-built fiberglass cruiser from the 1980s–1990s era, produced by Yamaha Motor Co. It is essentially the "S" (sport or tall-rig) variant of the standard Yamaha 28, with the "Ltd" likely denoting a limited or enhanced edition featuring the taller rig for improved light-air performance. Like other Yamaha sailboats, it emphasizes high-quality Japanese construction, thoughtful details, and a balance of cruising comfort with responsive sailing.

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.
