Hawkfarm Fractional Rig (Wylie 28FR)
Description
The Wylie 28 (officially known as the Hawkfarm 28) is a performance-oriented racer/cruiser designed by Tom Wylie (Wylie Design Group, San Francisco Bay Area). It was conceived as an IOR 1/2 Ton rule boat in the late 1970s. Approximately 32 hulls were built in fiberglass, primarily in 1977–1978, by small yards or semi-custom builders. The design features a fin keel with spade rudder, lightweight construction for its era, and good all-around sailing qualities that made it competitive in bay and coastal racing while remaining viable as a daysailer or short cruiser.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
