Yamaha 28 S
Description
The Yamaha 28 S (also known as Yamaha 28S or sometimes referred to alongside the Yamaha 28) is a Japanese-built fiberglass cruiser from the early 1980s onward, with examples documented into the 1990s. Produced by Yamaha Marine (Yamaha Motor Co.), it was designed by the Yamaha Design Team as a compact, balanced cruiser emphasizing ease of handling, decent performance, and comfortable accommodations for its size. The "S" variant appears to share the core hull with the standard Yamaha 28 but features a taller or more powered rig in some listings, optimized for better light-air 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.
