Designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry in 1977, this Spencer-built 28-footer represents classic Pacific Northwest sailing sensibilities wrapped in a practical cruising package. Perry's signature styling is evident in the Sun 28's balanced proportions and seaworthy hull form, featuring a fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling both in light air and heavier conditions. The boat's moderate displacement of 6,000 pounds, combined with 2,300 pounds of ballast, creates a stable platform well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. Her 20.57 comfort ratio suggests a motion that favors performance over ultimate stability, making her an engaging boat to sail while remaining forgiving enough for less experienced crews. The masthead sloop rig with 339 square feet of sail area provides adequate power for her size class. With a respectable capsize screening formula of 1.98, the Sun 28 demonstrates good stability characteristics for protected waters and near-coastal sailing. Her fiberglass construction has proven durable over the decades, and many examples remain active on the water today. This design appeals to sailors seeking a manageable boat that doesn't sacrifice sailing performance for comfort, making it particularly attractive for couples or small families wanting to explore coastal waters with confidence.
