The Lancer 28, introduced in the late 1970s, represents a pivotal era for the Lancer Yacht Corporation where the builder pivoted from its motorsailer roots to produce more conventional, performanceoriented coastal cruisers. Designed by W. Shad Turner—who was also responsible for the popular Lancer 25—the 28foot model was intended to compete in the crowded midsize market by offering significantly more interior volume than its contemporaries. By utilizing a beam that approached 10 feet, Turner created a hull that felt like a 30footer below decks while maintaining the manageable slip fees and handling characteristics of a sub30foot vessel.
