The Newport 28-2 is an American sailboat that was designed by C&C Design as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1982.[1][2][3][4][5]

The design was a development of the 1974 Newport 28, using the same hull design, but with a new unswept keel, revised rudder, new coach house top and interior.[1][2][6][7]

The design was built by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States, from 1982 until 1987, but it is now out of production.[1][2][8][9]

Design

The Newport 28-2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) and carries 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) of ballast.[1][2][5]

The boat has a draft of 5.18 ft (1.58 m) with the standard keel. The design may be fitted with a factory optional Yanmar or Universal diesel engine, for docking and maneuvering.[1][2][5]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin and an aft quarter berth. The galley had two layout options: aft on the port or starboard side. The arrangement with the galley on aft, starboard side was the only one that included an oven. The cabin headroom is 72 in (183 cm).[5]

The design has a hull speed of 6.49 kn (12.02 km/h) and a PHRF racing average handicap of 186.[2][5]
