The Alo 28 represents the foundational success of Norwegian builder Alo Yachts, serving as the first model designed by the company’s founder, Alf Josef Ortang. Introduced in 1974, the vessel was engineered specifically to handle the demanding coastal conditions of the North Sea, emphasizing structural rigidity and a "more of everything" philosophy that resulted in a notably robust fiberglass build. With approximately 150 units produced during its decadelong production run, the Alo 28 carved out a niche as a conservative, seaworthy cruiser that prioritizes safety over raw speed. The hull features a moderate beam of 2.55 meters and a traditional fin keel made of iron, reflecting the pragmatic Scandinavian boatbuilding standards of the mid1970s.
