The Spirit 28 is a quintessential example of the 1970s "performance cruiser" movement, representing a period when massmarket powerboat manufacturers looked to diversify into the booming sailing industry. Designed by Robert Finch—who was also responsible for the successful Islander 28—the Spirit 28 was initially launched by North American Yachts before the tooling and brand were acquired by the Texasbased powerboat giant Glastron. This transition brought Glastron’s industrial manufacturing prowess to the model, resulting in a vessel that combined Finch’s West Coast design sensibilities with the highvolume production standards of a major American builder.
