The Viking 28 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and first built in 1968.^[1]^[2]

Production

The boat was built by Ontario Yachts in Burlington, Ontario, Canada between 1968 and 1983, with 147 examples completed. Initial production was in the form of a kit for amateur construction, but later many were professionally built.^[1]^[3]

The Viking 28 design was also built in England by Anesty Yachts as the Trapper 28/400, with 70 completed.^[1]

Design

The Viking 28 was the first boat designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian to be produced by Ontario Yachts.^[1]^[3]

The Viking 28 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,775 lb (2,166 kg) and carries 2,250 lb (1,021 kg) of ballast.^[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the standard keel fitted. It is fitted with a Vire Engines two-stroke gasoline inboard engine of 7 hp (5 kW) or a well-mounted outboard motor.^[1]

Many modifications were incorporated in 1974, including a wider companionway, with a pop-up hatch, plus a modified mast step and V-berth to make the hull stronger.^[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 189 and low of 183. It has a hull speed of 6.29 kn (11.65 km/h).^[4]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Viking 28 is a fast, relatively light weight boat that was designed by C&C and built by Ontario Yachts. Its cabin does not have standing headroom, which is something of an oddity for a modern production 28 footer. On the other hand, this meant there was no need to incorporate a high freeboard, or otherwise compromise the lines of this design, in order to accommodate for standing headroom in this boat. As a well known British designer (Uffa Fox) once said, "If you want to stand up, go on deck"."^[5]
