Coronado 28

Built during the 1970s by Coronado Yachts, this 28-foot sailboat represents an era when affordable fiberglass cruisers were making sailing accessible to middle-class families across America. The Coronado 28 emerged from a California boatyard known for producing practical, well-built vessels that prioritized value and reliability over racing performance. This coastal cruiser features traditional lines with a moderate beam and a comfortable cockpit designed for day sailing and weekend getaways. The boat's sturdy fiberglass construction and sensible sail plan make it well-suited for sailors seeking a dependable platform for exploring protected waters, bays, and nearshore coastal areas. While not designed for offshore passages, the Coronado 28 excels as a family boat that can handle a variety of conditions with confidence. The interior layout typically maximizes the available space with practical accommodations for overnight trips. Like many boats from this period, the Coronado 28 emphasizes ease of handling and maintenance over cutting-edge performance, making it an attractive option for sailors who value simplicity and proven design over the latest innovations. Today, these boats remain popular among budget-conscious sailors seeking their first keelboat or a reliable coastal cruiser.
