Sarum 28

The Sarum 28 was designed in the mid 1970s by Robert Tucker for the British Aluminium Co. (BACO), who set up a subsidiary company to build boats.

The Sarum 28 has a beamy multi-chine hull with either deep twin bilge keels or a single fin, with a skeg-hung rudder. The hulls were built to Lloyds scantlings, with 4.76 mm plating on the hull, and 9.52mm on the keelson and engine beds. The deep twin bilge keels are aerofoil section, and are akin to the efficient "twin fins" fitted much later to British Hunter boats.

Early boats had bolted-on aluminium toerails, later boats such as this had the alloy toerails welded on as part of the hull build. The original design brochure shows a sailplan drawing with a 7/8 fractional rig, but a photo of an example with a a masthead rig, as is the case with thsi example. The very stiff welded hull construction of the Sarum 28 makes the interior bulkheads non-structural, hence it is easy to alter interior fittings and layouts, as has been done on this example.

The original engines fitted to Sarum 28s were 12 hp Yanmar YSE or Bukh diesels. This yacht had the original engine changed for a 20 hp Lister Petter Alpha in 1997.

The original engine (probably a Yanmar YSE-8) was replaced in 1997 with a fresh water cooled Lister Petter Alpha 20 hp diesel, driving a three-bladed prop with ropecutter on a conventional sternshaft.
