Sunstar 28 - Tall Rig
Description
The boat was built by Spencer Boats Ltd. in Richmond, BC, Canada, primarily from around 1980–1985 (after the original Sun 27 production by Reinell ended). Spencer versions are often regarded as higher quality, with minor changes like a reworked transom for an LPG locker, making the LOA slightly longer than the original 27.5-foot Sun 27. Total production of the Sunstar 28 was modest (roughly 65–75 units), and boats are scattered across North America and beyond.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. 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.
