Samoa 28
Description
The Samoa 28 (Multichine 28) by B&B Yacht Design represents Roberto Barros' masterful approach to creating accessible bluewater cruising sailboats that don't compromise seaworthiness for buildability. Through innovative multichine construction and extraordinarily detailed plans, this design has enabled dozens of amateur builders worldwide to create ocean-capable yachts that rival or exceed production boat performance. Whether seeking the satisfaction of building your own boat, the economics of avoiding new boat depreciation, or the customization freedom impossible with production alternatives, the Multichine 28 offers a proven path to serious cruising capability. With examples logging extensive ocean miles and a supportive global community of builders and sailors, this design stands as one of the finest amateur-buildable bluewater sailboats available—a testament to thoughtful design, quality plans, and the enduring appeal of creating something truly personal for maritime adventures.

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.
