Lancer 28T Mark V

The Lancer 28T Mark V, or Mark 5, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a cruiser and first built in 1982.

Production
The design was built by Lancer Yachts in the United States, starting in 1982, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Lancer 28T Mark V is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type/ rudder controlled by a wheel or a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5200 lb and carries 2600 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft with the standard keel. The keel is wide and has a dropped cabin floor into it to increase headroom to 6.17 ft.

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor, but can be optionally equipped with a Japanese Yanmar inboard diesel engine of 7.5 hp for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a straight settee in the main cabin, a drop-down dinette table and an aft cabin with two single berths. The galley is located on both sides just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove to port and a sink to starboard. The head is located just aft of the bow storage area and includes a sink. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 15 u.s.gal.

The design has a hull speed of 6.55 kn.
