The San Juan 28, introduced in the late 1970s, remains a benchmark for the Clark Boat Company’s commitment to balancing racing pedigree with coastal cruising comfort. Designed by Don Clark, the vessel was intended to capture the burgeoning market of sailors who desired a boat fast enough for PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) competition but substantial enough for extended family trips. With its distinctively wide 10-foot beam—a generous dimension for a 28-foot boat of that era—the San Juan 28 offered a level of stability and internal volume that challenged the dominance of contemporary designs like the Catalina 27 or the Pearson 28. The hull features a high-aspect fin keel and a balanced spade rudder, a configuration that signaled its performance intent.
