The Precision 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel with a lead bulb weight. It displaces 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) and carries 1,900 lb (862 kg) of ballast.[1][3][5]
The boat has a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 9 U.S. gallons (34 L; 7.5 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located beside the companionway on the starboard side and includes a sink.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h).[3]
