Windward 28

Description of Windward 28

This Karl Stambaugh-designed WINDWARD 28 is a cruising version of her successful shallow draft sisters. She is a gaff-rigged ketch and she has generous accommodations in her cabin. Her arrangement is a V-berth forward, galley to port, storage to starboard, two settees, and a porta-potty to pull out from under the bridge deck.

Her self-bailing cockpit is large enough for family and friends to spread out. Storage is provided in the lazaret and under the cockpit seats.

When not under sail she is powered by a 2006 Tohatsu 6 HP four-stroke engine.

She will sail upright and go to windward well as her name indicates. The split ketch gaff rig is easy to handle and reduces easily when white caps appear. Her hull construction is glue and screw 1/2″ plywood and epoxy on plywood bulkheads and straight frames.

Her sails are in good condition and she comes with all running rigging and the original build plans.

She rides on a 2008 aluminum dual axle trailer made by Advanced Boat Trailers of Jacksonville, FL and custom-made for this boat.

Since new, when not in the water, this boat has been stored in a climate-controlled inside storage building built specifically for this boat.
