Boat Overview
This Heard 28 is a unique vessel built by Martin Heard at his Cornish boatyard. The brand holds a respected place in traditional boat building history. This is a tidy example of the marque. One of the current owners is an experienced shipwright, and their maintenance and care for the vessel shines through. She underwent extensive refits in 2012, 2018, and 2022, including a stunning new Beta 30 engine installation.
She is based here in Falmouth; please contact us to arrange an appointment to view.
