This Tartan 28 has been continuously updated and maintained by knowledgeable owners. You would not guess her age to see her. For over a decade, she spent her winters in the Northeast, bundled up and cozy, and her summers sailing. She has been making quite a splash in Eastern North Carolina lately. This Tartan 28 is all set for fun on the water with family and friends. Whether you enjoy cruises or racing, with this boat you can do it all.
Highlights of her past five years of updates include new lifelines, new running rigging, new electronics, and much more. Take a look at the detailed descriptions. Call today to arrange a showing of this beautiful, quality-built boat.
Equipment: Galley: The galley is U-shaped with an ice box aft and deep stainless steel sink forward with a two-burner Origo 4000 alcohol stove in between. The ice box counter may serve as a chart table. At the sink, there is hot and cold pressure water to the primary faucet, and a manual fresh water foot pump to a separate faucet. The galley trash can is accessed through the galley and is actually under the port cockpit seat. A GFCI outlet and 12V outlet are in the galley.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
