1981 Swanson 28 now for sale exclusively with DBY Boat Sales.
Swanson 28's are well known for being pocket sized, strong bluewater cruising yachts.
This 1981 model is in excellent condition and has 2016 rigging as a huge bonus. Antifouled late 2020 and with an extensive sail wardrobe, she is ready for her next adventure.
The aft cockpit is very high sided and offers vast protection from the elements. The tiller steering is light and can be used from the raised seating for better visibility.
A long bi fold stainless steel swim ladder is excellent for water entry and mounts neatly on the rail where there is also a bracket for an outboard.
The fully encapsulated long cruising lead keel tracks straight and provides a balanced ride with excellent weight ratio plus is also forgiving if she should happen to touch bottom or need to be careened.
The Bukh DV20 has been fully overhauled in 2009 and runs like a dream. A 2019 survey is also available.
