The ETAP 28 is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by E. G. van de Stadt as a cruiser and first built in 1978.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium between 1978 and 1987, with 375 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design

The ETAP 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,610 lb (2,998 kg) and carries 2,557 lb (1,160 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.40 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta MD 7A diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW) for docking and manoeuvring.[1][3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a spinnaker.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 6.38 kn (11.82 km/h).[3]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.[5]
