Shipman 28

The Shipman 28 was first built in Visby in Sweden in 1968, and shortly afterwards another production centre was set up in Cork in Ireland. Production continued in Ireland after they stopped being built in Denmark.

Designed by Olle Enderlein of Sweden, she was (apart from the trim tab on the keel) a typical cruiser-racer of her era, with hull lines similar to other modern classics such as the Contessas, Elizabethans and Hustlers. Around 1,300 were built in total, many still being raced, particularly in the Baltic and in Ireland.

Shipman are still in business, although they now produce much larger ultra high tech carbon fibre cruiser-racers.

More information, although almost entirely In Danish, is at the owners association website http://www.shipman28.dk/
