The Bandholm 28 represents a significant chapter in Danish maritime history, emerging as a refined evolution of the widely successful Bandholm 27. Designed by the prolific Knud Olsen and built by Bandholm Yachts in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the 28 was engineered to provide more volume and improved stability than its predecessors. While many Danish yachts of this era were designed strictly for the protected waters of the Baltic, the Bandholm 28 was built with a heavier scantling and a higher ballast ratio, making it a capable coastal cruiser that handles the choppy conditions of the North Sea with a sense of security. It occupies a specific niche between the "pure" classic lines of the earlier Bandholm 24 and 27 and the larger, more modern proportions of the Bandholm 30 and 33.
