The Pearson 28 is an American sailboat, designed by William Shaw and first built in 1975.
The Pearson 28 was replaced in the company product line by a new Shaw design, the Pearson 28-2, introduced in 1985.
Production
The Pearson 28 was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States from 1975 to 1982, but it is now out of production.
The design was introduced in 1975 and then updated in 1980 with a new keel and interior improvements. It remained in production until 1982 in this modified form.
Design
The Pearson 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa cored deck and wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.
The boat has a length overall of 28.00 ft (8.5 m), a waterline length of 25.00 ft (7.6 m), displaces 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) and carries 3,530 lb (1,601 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m). The early version also had an optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine of 30 hp (22 kW). The fuel tank holds 14 U.S. gallons (53 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 22 U.S. gallons (83 L; 18 imp gal).
The boat has a hull speed of 6.56 kn (12.15 km/h).
