Ontario28 / 29
Description
The Ontario 28/29 (essentially the same hull, marketed as 28 early and 29 later), designed by C&C Design Group and built by Ontario Yachts in Canada from 1978 to 1985 with ~120 hulls produced, is a versatile 28.5-foot performance cruiser featuring a 10.0-foot beam, 24.0-foot waterline, and a 5.25-foot fin keel (or optional 4.25-foot shoal) carrying 3,800 pounds of lead ballast in a moderate 8,500-pound displacement for solid stability, a comfort ratio of 23–27, and a capsize screening value under 1.95. Its masthead sloop rig delivers 460 square feet of sail area for a spirited SA/D of ~18.0 and PHRF ratings around 180–195, blending quick coastal performance with surprising seaworthiness.

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.
