The Newport 28-2, often referred to as the Newport 28 Mark II, represents a significant evolution of one of the most successful production sailboats of the late 20th century. Introduced in 1982 by Capital Yachts under the Newport brand, the 28-2 was a refined development of the original 1974 Newport 28 designed by the legendary C&C Design Group. While the original model was a trailblazer in the affordable family cruiser-racer market, the 28-2 variant sought to modernize the hull’s performance and livability. With nearly 1,000 units produced across both iterations, the boat is a staple of the coastal cruising community, particularly on the United States’ West Coast where one-design fleets were once exceptionally active.
