She has Autohelm electronics with boat speed and depth functions plus VHF and 27 Meg two way radios and a Plastimo Contest steering compass. Below decks she has two single settee berths in the main cabin and a single berth in the forward cabin, a marine toilet and a galley with two burner meth spirit stove and a sink.
Perfect for easy day sailing or bay cruising, her shallow draft also makes her an ideal yacht for the Gippsland Lakes where a number of other classic H28s are sailing. Her current owner has enjoyed her for more than twenty years and now seeks a new owner to sail her away to new adventures.
