Stardrift 28
Description
STARDRIFT 28 (also known as the Hartley Star-Drift 28 or Hartley 28 Star-Drift) is a classic plywood cruising sailboat designed by Mervyn Hartley (of Hartley Boats / Hartley Marine in New Zealand). It belongs to the popular Hartley series of affordable, home-buildable plywood boats popular in New Zealand, Australia, and among DIY sailors worldwide since the 1970s. Examples like the 1976-built Cassandra (plywood, built by Neville Simpson) confirm the "Hartley Star-Drift" designation.
