The Sarum 28 is a robust, small-displacement cruiser designed by the prolific British naval architect Robert Tucker. Emerging from a design lineage that prioritized seaworthiness and amateur-build accessibility, the Sarum 28 is most commonly encountered as a steel-hulled vessel, though some variations were produced in other materials. It was part of a broader family of "Sarum" designs, ranging from 26 to 35 feet, all sharing Tucker’s signature multi-chine hull form. This design approach allowed for the strength and durability of steel to be utilized by small yards or skilled home builders, resulting in a vessel capable of coastal hops and modest offshore passages. Unlike many mass-produced GRP yachts of the same era, the Sarum 28 was built to endure rather than to perform under a handicap racing rule, making it a favorite for traditionalists who value structural integrity over sleek aesthetics.
