The King’s Cruiser 28 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of the Swedish shipyard Storebro Bruks AB, marking their successful transition from traditional wooden craftsmanship to serial fiberglass production. Designed by the legendary Tord Sundén—the naval architect responsible for the iconic Nordic Folkboat—the King’s Cruiser 28 was introduced in the late 1960s as a sophisticated, offshorecapable cruiser. While Storebro is globally recognized today for its luxury power yachts, this model remains a testament to the period when the yard applied its highend furnituregrade joinery to the emerging world of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) sailing vessels. Production spanned approximately 1968 to 1972, during which the yard blended Sundén’s penchant for seaworthiness with the refined interior finish that defined the Storebro brand.
