Designed in 1977 by the legendary British naval architect David Thomas and manufactured by Hunter Boats in the United Kingdom, the Thomas Impala 28 (frequently designated as the Hunter Impala 28) stands as one of the most successful small cruiserracers in European yachting history. Developed in response to a design contest sponsored by the Offshore One Design Council (OODC), the Impala 28 was selected alongside the Sigma 33 and the Portsmouth 30 to lead a new era of strict onedesign offshore racing. With roughly 155 hulls built before production concluded in the mid1980s, the boat developed an enduring cult following. Unlike many of its contemporaries, which have faded into obscurity, the Impala 28 remains a vibrant, highly active racing class with fiercely contested national championships in the UK and Ireland.
