This 1979 Lancer 28 is a fiberglass sloop designed for practical coastal cruising. The boat features a shoal draft keel well-suited to Bay and Delta sailing, tiller steering for responsive handling, and a tabernacle mast system that simplifies mast stepping and allows easier passage under bridges. The design prioritizes simplicity and ease of handling, making it approachable for short-handed sailing or first-time ownership.
The interior includes a forward V-berth, two quarter berths aft, and a convertible dinette in the main salon. An enclosed head with sink and hanging locker storage serves the single-cabin layout. The galley is equipped with an alcohol stove, stainless steel sink, and icebox, with practical storage throughout. The teak accents and refreshed headliner reflect recent interior updates, and the overall arrangement is clean and functional without unnecessary complexity.
Power comes from a 9.9 HP Nissan 4-stroke outboard with electric start and cockpit controls. The engine has approximately 250 hours and has been recently serviced. The sail plan includes a roller furling 110% genoa reported in good condition. Electronics consist of a VHF radio and Ritchie compass. The electrical system runs dual batteries with a charger. The boat cruises at 6 knots with a maximum speed around 8 knots.
