The Waarschip 28 LD (Light Design) represents a pivotal evolution for the Dutch shipyard, transitioning the brand’s storied wood-epoxy craftsmanship into the modern performance-cruising era. Introduced in 1994 as a smaller sibling to the groundbreaking 36 LD, the 28 LD was designed by Klaus Kremer to deliver a "real sailor’s boat" that prioritized speed and stiffness over the high-volume hull shapes common in contemporary fiberglass production. Built by Nautisch Centrum Delfzijl, the official global builder of Waarschip, the model is characterized by a distinctive negative transom, a near-vertical bow, and the brand’s signature multi-chine hull construction. Unlike the older IOR-influenced designs like the Waarschip 725 or 870, the 28 LD features a flatter underwater profile and a more balanced distribution of beam, allowing it to plane more easily and remain controllable in heavy weather.
