About the JAGUAR 28
Based on the CATALINA 27 hull design?. Available with standard fin, shallow draft fin (by P. Milne), or twin/bilge keels.
The Jaguar 28 is a British-built coastal cruiser designed by Finch/Butler/Milne and constructed by Jaguar Yachts Ltd. (UK) in 1981. With a displacement of 6600.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 22.04, it offers a stable platform for its 28.0 ft LOA.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, traditional sloop with a fin keel and masthead rig. Its dimensions and ratios indicate it is best suited for protected waters rather than heavy offshore passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a D/L ratio of 242.17, the Jaguar 28 is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Hunter 28 and O'Day 28, which share similar LOA and displacement characteristics. These vessels offer similar coastal cruising capabilities with comparable beam and draft profiles.
