Designed by Gebr de Kloet and built by Jachtwerf Gebr. de Kloet B.V., the Fellowship 28 is a Dutch-built cruiser produced from 1976–1994. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, the fleet is characterized by a masthead sloop rig and a displacement of 7937.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a manageable, heavy-displacement cruiser with a comfortable motion, as indicated by its Comfort ratio of 27.54.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 1.75 and a D/L ratio of 268.89, the Fellowship 28 offers a stable, heavy platform suitable for offshore passages, though its fin keel and max draft of 3.54 ft limit access to very shallow waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1970s-80s European fin-keel sloops of similar length, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 32 or Beneteau First 28, due to its similar LOA of 28.22 ft and traditional cruising layout.
