Ajax 28

Designed by C&C and built by Ajax in Canada from 1978 to 1982, this 28-footer represents a relatively rare find with only 12 hulls produced during its brief four-year production run. The Ajax 28 showcases the classic late-1970s approach to performance cruising, featuring a fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling and efficient upwind performance. With a displacement of 6,200 pounds and 2,700 pounds of ballast, this fiberglass sloop strikes a reasonable balance between stability and performance. The masthead sloop rig carries 364 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power for coastal cruising and weekend sailing. Her moderate beam of 9 feet keeps marina costs reasonable while still offering decent interior volume for a boat this size. The comfort ratio of 20.86 suggests a motion that favors performance over ultimate stability, making her best suited for coastal waters rather than extended offshore passages. Her capsize screening formula of 1.96 falls within acceptable ranges for near-shore sailing. The 5-foot draft provides good upwind ability while limiting access to some shallow cruising grounds. Given C&C's reputation for well-balanced designs, the Ajax 28 likely appeals to sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with respectable sailing characteristics in a manageable package.
