About the HAWKFARM 28 MH
Dimensions for masthead rig. See HAWKFARM 28 for more details.
The Hawkfarm 28 MH is a 28.0 ft masthead sloop designed by T. Wylie and built in 1977. With a displacement of 5700.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 18.18, this vessel represents a specific era of American cruising yacht design, though exact build counts and builder details remain unverified in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 28.0 ft footprint with a comfortable 9.3 ft beam. Its moderate displacement and fin keel configuration make it suitable for those seeking a balance between performance and ease of handling in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.09 and a displacement of 5700.0 lb, the Hawkfarm 28 MH is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater passages. Its relatively light displacement and short 23.5 ft LWL suggest it is best suited for shorter offshore trips in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Cal 2-28 and O'Day 28, which share similar 28-foot LOA dimensions and fin keel configurations from the late 1970s. These boats offer similar interior volumes and masthead sloop rigs, providing a direct benchmark for performance and layout.
