The O’Day 28, introduced in 1978 and produced until 1986, represents a pivotal era for the O’Day Corp. as it transitioned toward more sophisticated, performance-oriented cruising designs. Developed by the esteemed firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the 28-footer was a departure from the more utilitarian aesthetic of its predecessors, like the O’Day 27. With approximately 500 hulls produced, it became a staple of the American coastal cruising scene, offering a "big boat" feel in a sub-30-foot package. Its design emphasizes a high degree of form stability, derived from a generous 10-foot, 3-inch beam—a dimension nearly unheard of for a 28-foot vessel in the late 1970s. This width, combined with a modern underbody and a choice between a deep fin keel or a shoal-draft centerboard, allowed the model to cater to both deep-water sailors and those navigating the thin waters of the Chesapeake or the Florida Keys.
