The Quanta 28 is a rare artifact of Canadian maritime history, representing the singular vision of renowned naval architect Raymond Wall during a transitional period in Pacific Northwest boat building. Launched in 1985 in Richmond, British Columbia, the vessel was intended to be the flagship for a new era of high-quality, owner-focused production yachts. Raymond Wall, who had previously achieved significant acclaim as the chief designer for CS Yachts, brought a "no-compromise" philosophy to Quanta Yachts Ltd., aiming to produce a 28-foot cruiser that felt and performed like a much larger offshore vessel. Despite its pedigree, the Quanta 28 remains a "hidden gem" of the used market, with only 12 hulls completed before the company ceased operations in 1987 due to a stagnant economic climate.
