The Shipman 28, also sold as the Baltic 28, is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Olle Enderlein as a cruiser and first built in 1969.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The design was built by Shipman Sweden AB, Visby and Albin Marine, all in Sweden and Fiberman Composite Racing Products in the Republic of Ireland. About 1,000 boats were completed between 1969 and 1979, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [5] [6] [7]
The boat was also built by Baltic Marine and sold as the Baltic 28.[1]
The Shipman 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a spooned raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 66140NaN0 and carries 26670NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 5.09feet with the standard keel and is fitted with a Faryman a40 diesel engine of 8to with hydraulic (Hydromarine) transmission for docking and manoeuvring.[1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people (six when fold navigation table), with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a single stainless steel sink. A dinette table is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.[1] [2]
The maximum below-decks headroom is 710NaN0 in the main cabin. The saloon has 620NaN0 of headroom and the aft cabin 610NaN0.[2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 646square feet. It has a hull speed of 6.49kn.[2]
The boat is supported by an active class club based in Denmark, that organizes racing events, the Shipman 28 Klubben (English: Shipman 28 Club).[8]
Matt Rutherford sailed an Albin Vega on the first solo non-stop circumnavigation of the Americas.
