Shipman 28 – Converted Daysailer with Seaworthy Foundation The Shipman 28 is a classic sailboat originating from the 1960s and 1970s, designed by Swedish designer Olle Enderlein. This particular vessel has been converted into a compact and functional daysailer, with the original interior modified to provide more space and convenience for day trips and short stays on board. The boat is made of polyester and measures 8.65 meters in length, 2.56 meters in width, and has a draft of 1.50 meters. The air draft is approximately 12 meters, making the vessel suitable for various inland waters and lakes. Hull and Construction The hull of this Shipman 28 is constructed from polyester, a material known for its durability and low maintenance. Weighing around 3,000 kg, the ship offers a stable position in the water. The boat was recently (2025) taken out of the water for maintenance on the underside, including the application of a new antifouling layer. According to the owner, the top of the hull could use some attention. Interior and Layout The original cabin layout has been altered. The boat has been converted into a daysailer, with the cabin reduced to create more open space. There is a manual toilet present, located directly behind the cabin entrance. The toilet waste is discharged directly into the open water. Sleeping accommodations are limited to one fixed and one additional berth, making the ship particularly suitable for day trips or short overnight stays. Sail Equipment and Rigging The Shipman 28 is equipped with an aluminum mast and has three sails. The condition of the sails is described as fair. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit. The cockpit is self-draining, enhancing safety while sailing. The boat comes with standard equipment such as fenders, lines, and a cockpit table. Engine and Technology The boat is powered by a functioning diesel engine of an unknown brand. The electrical system operates on a 12V system and includes a battery charger. There is no bow thruster onboard. The bilge pump is manually operated. Suitability and Use This converted Shipman 28 has mainly been used on inland waters, canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. The owner used the boat for sporty day trips and recreational sailing pleasure. Due to the stable sailing characteristics and seaworthy design of the original Shipman 28, this boat provides a solid foundation for both novice and experienced sailors seeking a compact and agile sailboat. Documentation and Registration The boat is not registered. Documentation in the form of the last sales contract is available. No known defects have been reported, and there are no signs of osmosis detected.
