The Heard 28 is a quintessential example of the "working boat" aesthetic translated into modern glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) construction. Designed by Percy Dalton and built primarily by the late Martin Heard at the Gaffers and Luggers yard in Mylor Creek, Cornwall, the vessel is modeled directly after the historic Falmouth Working Boats. These traditional oyster dredgers required a hull capable of carrying immense sail area to provide the power needed to drag heavy dredges across the seabed, yet they had to remain stable enough to operate in the unpredictable waters of the English Channel. Since its introduction in the late 1960s, the Heard 28 has earned a reputation among traditionalists as a rugged, seaworthy cruiser that offers the charm of a wooden classic with the reduced maintenance of a fiberglass hull.
