English
This Heard 28 has the unique presence of being one of those special vessels built by Martin Heard at his Cornish boatyard. The brand has a well regarded 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 had 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.
