The Sunbeam 28.1 represents a modern pivot for the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachtbau, designed to bridge the gap between high-performance daysailing and comfortable weekend cruising. Launched as a successor to the more traditional Sunbeam 29, the 28.1 was developed in collaboration with the prolific J&J Design studio. It was conceptualized to meet a specific market demand: a yacht that is easily handled by a single sailor, capable of spirited performance on alpine lakes or coastal waters, yet maintains the "Sports Luxury" aesthetic synonymous with the brand. A defining characteristic of the 28.1 is its beam of 2.49 meters, a strategic dimension that allows the vessel to be trailered behind a suitable vehicle without the need for special wide-load permits in most European jurisdictions.
