Cal 28, Worth the Price?

There are two in my club. I own the larger brother of the 28 - the 33-2. Above average construction, very nice layout, and a good sailing boat.
CAL 28
We looked at 6 different examples before eventually finding 'ours'. As the younger sister to the Cal 33, the 28 shares many of the same systems and hardware. As a results, much of the rigging is overbuilt and heavier duty than you may find on other 28' cruisers. The cockpit is arranged with the necessary lines led aft and good access to the 4 ...
CAL 28
It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
Anyone have experience with Cal 28-2's? : r/sailing
All that being said, if the boat is in otherwise exemplary shape, and you can knock off some money due to the sails, the Cal 28-2 definitely looks like a comfortable weekend cruiser for 2 people. Has a nice modern underbody and looks like it'd zip to windward. Cal 28-2 has a 177 PHRF vs. 228 for the swing keel Catalina 25 so certainly a good ...
Review of Cal 28
The Cal 28 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel. The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and ...

They both had quite a bit of deck delamination from water leakage. I decided then to up my budget from $15,000 to $25,000 (this was in the year 2000), and I spoke to Paul Chasse at Sailboats Northeast and told him I wanted a 30' boat. He told me he had a 28 footer that was more like a 30' because it had almost an 11-foot beam.
Review of Caliber 28
Fin keel. The Caliber 28 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.19 - 1.29 meter (3.90 - 4.20 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The company's boats in 1965 were: The Cal 20, Cal 25, Cal 28, Cal 34, Cal 36 and, of course, the Cal 40—literally a hall of fame lineup. With her fin keel, spade rudder and lightweight, the Cal 28 was the proto-type for the the radical rudder and fin keel on her larger American Sailboat Hall of Fame sister, the Cal 40 .

the caliber 28 had a fin keel that was thru bolted and not quite as reliable as the integral keel on the later models. calibers are far better boats than whatever catalina or beneteau or hunter you throw at me (which is about all you can see on yachtworld) IMHO. 21-03-2013, 00:20. # 15.

Caliber 28 Stability
As to the Caliber 28, first of all, this is not a light boat by any stretch of the imagination. A moderate displacement 28 footer would be somewhere around 5500-6000 lbs. My last boat was a 4100 lb 28 foot performance cruiser. So if anything at 7200 lbs the Caliber is on the stoggy side of the weight range. While 10''-10" is on the beamy side ...

What is the best 28 ft for the money
The next best and most boat for the money is a Hunter 28... not a Hunter 28.5. The Pearson 28 is the next best followed by the Hunter 28.5.u000bu000bThe main reason for the rating is the walk through swim platform offer by both the Catalina 28 and the Hunter 28! Great for the family getting on and off the boat and into the water.
