Used Kells 28 Sailboats for Sale

The Kells 28, also known as the Kells 28 Outrider, is a 28-foot masthead sloop introduced in 1976, embodying a blend of performance and comfortable cruising in a compact package. Designed by Aborn Smith in collaboration with Kells Corp., this sailboat was conceived as a versatile vessel for recreational sailors. Built by the American yard Kells Corp., under the leadership of Raymond F. Kells, the Kells 28 was promoted as an adaptation of the earlier Trump 27 and was uniquely offered to buyers either as a factory-finished yacht or as a kit boat. It quickly established a reputation as a moderate-weight sailboat known for its reasonable performance and stability, making it particularly well-suited for coastal cruising.
