Lancer 28

The Lancer 28 is an American sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a trailerable daysailer and cruiser, which was first built in 1977.

The hull has a raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a wide, hollow, fixed fin keel.

[1] The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 258 for the masthead sloop version and 248 for the fractional rig.

If you need a trailerable boat that can accommodate two adults and several children for relatively short-term cruising, the Lancer 28 makes sense.

But don't expect to get six berths, "full headroom," shoal draft, and trailerability in a 28' boat without some fairly substantial compromises.
