The ETAP 28i represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Belgian shipyard, transitioning from the utilitarian lines of the early 1970s to the more sophisticated, ergonomic designs of the late 1980s. Launched in 1988 and designed by the renowned French firm Harlé & Mortain, the 28i was engineered to provide a safe, Category B offshore experience within a compact footprint. Its defining characteristic remains the proprietary doubleskin construction, which utilizes a closedcell polyurethane foam core injected between two glassreinforced plastic (GRP) shells. This construction method not only renders the vessel technically unsinkable according to French Merchant Marine standards but also provides exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation—a rarity for a production boat of this size.
