The Cape Dory 28 is a quintessential example of the "full-keel" cruising philosophy that defined the American fiberglass boatbuilding era of the 1970s and 80s. Designed by the legendary Carl Alberg, the vessel was introduced in 1975 as a more robust and spacious alternative to the Cape Dory 27. Over its twelve-year production run ending in 1987, nearly 400 hulls were launched, solidifying its place as one of the most successful mid-sized cruisers in the company's history. Characterized by its graceful overhangs, narrow beam, and traditional bronze hardware, the Cape Dory 28 was built with an emphasis on seaworthiness and structural integrity rather than interior volume or light-air speed.
