Review of Prism 28
Basic specs..
Unknown keel type
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.90 - 2.00 meter (6.23 - 6.53 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.5 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Prism 28 is about 134 kg/cm, alternatively 753 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 134 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 753 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

It's quite a few years since I've heard of the boat, but at one time she was a regular Cowes Week competitor (and at times quite successful): Cowes Week She was designed by Stephen Jones, so he would be the person to contact in the first instance re plans etc, though it would not be economical to build a replacement, even if home built

Richard Shellack's Prism 28 Thrust on day 3 of the Silvers Marine Scottish Series
| Deck Lights | of 4 |
A deck light or deck prism is a prismatic glass set into a ship's deck, to let natural light below. They are especially useful when an open flame would be hazardous, such as with a cargo of coal or gunpowder. On colliers (coal ships), prisms were also used to spy on the cargo hold; light from a fire would be collected by the prism and be make visible on the deck¹ even in daylight. In normal usage, The prism hangs below the ceiling and disperses the light sideways; the top is flat and installed flush with the deck, becoming part of the deck. A plain flat glass would just form a single bright spot below— not very useful general illumination— hence the prismatic shapes which distribute the light. The name deadlight is sometimes used, "dead" meaning a non-opening light, but this more often refers to plain-glass portholes or deck lights, not the prismatic kind. The earliest deck prisms with provenance are from the 1840s. Presumably they were used earlier, but how much earlier is unknown; the origin of the idea is lost, and glass is difficult to date.
Very few original specimens remain. The Charles W. Morgan (1841), last surviving American wooden whaler and National Historic Landmark, had a single deck prism left. This ship has now been restored and is residing at Mystic Seaport . The original deck prism has been reproduced and is widely available. This idea was later borrowed for use in urban sidewalks to light underground spaces (vaults); in that application, they are called "vault lights" in the US and "pavement lights" in the UK. Model Shipways makes a model of the Charles W. Morgan that includes 21 tiny deck prisms! Deck prisms are alive and well today. They are still being made (see current manufacturers/suppliers ), some in the original forms (or close to it), and some in a newer tank-periscope-like rectangular design.
 Cape Dory 28This rugged carl alberg-designed classic is a bargain-priced family cruiser.  According to the Cape Dory Sailboat Owners’ Association, Cape Dory Yachts in East Taunton, Massachusetts, built 389 CD28s between 1974 and 1987. During the company’s 28 years in business, it built more than 2,800 sailboats, ranging in length from the pint-sized Cape Dory 10 to hulls exceeding 45 feet. The Cape Dory Typhoon, just shy of 20 feet, proved a standout. The CD28 is often compared to the Pearson Triton 28, the Columbia 29, Bristol 27 and Alberg 30. First impressions There’s something pleasant about the Cape Dory 28. It has a robust, seagoing appearance, perhaps due to the bowsprit with anchor roller and the long cabintrunk. Four portals on each side of the cabin are uniform in size and shape, giving the boat a traditional look that’s further enhanced by two deck hatches, a graceful sheer and low freeboard. Designer Carl Alberg had to compromise in order to gain interior volume in this relatively slender sloop. As a result, he left the bow overhang intact to promote the impression of elegance, but the stern overhang was dramatically trimmed back. That design decision gave the boat a longer waterline, which increased its speed potential, but detracted from its overall beauty. A bridgedeck was installed in the cockpit approximately four years after the start of production. It added to the interior volume. The deck has plenty of walkaround room for crew to go forward when changing sails or anchoring. The mainsheet is attached aft of the cockpit where it doesn’t interfere with crew activity. The original models have tiller steering and a self-tending, club-footed jib, allowing the boat to be sailed with minimal crew. A jiffy-reefing system on the mainsail also makes for easy sailing. Construction The CD28 hull is solid fiberglass in polyester resin. The decks are a sandwich of fiberglass cored with either marine plywood or balsa. In keeping with Cape Dory Yachts’ reputation for high-quality construction, the through-hull seacocks are bronze. Two deck hatches and eight portals open to provide ventilation and natural light. The boat has tiller steering, a full keel with lead ballast, and a keel-hung rudder. The mast is deck-stepped. “The shrouds and fittings are oversized for a vessel of this size,” said New Orleans sailor Keith Fawcett, who sails the CD28 Sea Hound. What to look for Deck delamination is always a possibility on older boats and the CD28 is no exception with its sandwich deck construction. The decks should be inspected for any spongy feel. Water infusion can occur at the chainplates or wherever other deck hardware is fastened. Telltale signs are stress cracks, crazing and blistering.  Fawcett noted the internally fastened chainplates are cast iron, which create problems of rust and corrosion. The chainplates are accessible from the interior. He also warned there is a jib stay with a bronze cast fitting on the stem that should be watched for problems. Owners report that the plastic portals installed between 1974 and 1978 were of inferior quality. By now the winches may be tired and in need of an upgrade. If the standing rigging is original, it should be replaced. The diesel engine should be tested for compression, leaks and other potential problems. At the very least, belts and filters should be replaced. Fuel tanks are either steel or aluminum. The steel tanks can rust and weaken. The aluminum tanks, because they’re in direct contact with a plywood base, can begin to pit. The boat is sloop-rigged, the mainsheet attached at the aft end of the cockpit to keep it from interfering with crew activity. Its 42-foot aluminum mast is deck stepped and secured by heavy-gauge standing rigging. The self-tending, club-footed jib on the foredeck is a welcome addition for short-handed sailors. The sturdy bowsprit supports an anchor roller and extends the forestay outward, providing more room for a genoa. There’s plenty of workspace on the foredeck. The cockpit has a bridgedeck on most models. The deck has a nonskid surface. The area below the deck isn’t cavernous by any means. The boat’s beam of just under 9 feet gives the CD28 a sleek appearance while dictating that the quarters below will be cramped. On the positive side, headroom is 6 feet 2 inches in the cabin. The boat sleeps five. There’s a V-berth in the bow, an adjacent head to port and a wet hanging locker to starboard, which is a typical layout for compact cruising boats. The saloon features a starboard settee that is used as a single berth, and a port settee that slides out to become a double berth. A drop-leaf table rests between the settees. The galley is aft, with an icebox and stainless sink to starboard, alcohol or propane stove to port. The two deck hatches and eight portals provide plenty of natural light and ventilation. The boat has several storage lockers and carries 60 gallons of fresh water. The original CD28s were fitted with a Volvo 2-cylinder, 15-horsepower diesel engine. Owners say the engine is powerful enough to push the boat in a chop, but tends to be loud, smoky, and shakes like a demon. The engine is accessed from the cabin by raising the companionway steps and through two cockpit lockers, but service space is tight. The fuel tank holds 32 gallons. Owners describe the CD28 as kindly and capable in rough seas. Despite its 9,000-pound displacement, the boat moves easily in light winds over 10 knots with the club-footed jib. The full keel with attached rudder helps the boat track downwind and allows it to point nicely to windward. The owner of the CD28 Entropy II once remarked, “I kept the original rig—a club-footed working jib for brisk-to-heavy winds and a 140% genoa for light winds. The Cape Dory 28 is a very sweet sailer —9,000 pounds of displacement with a Carl Alberg-designed hull—makes for a comfortable ride in various weather conditions. She may not be the fastest, but she’s a cruiser that points well and is easy to sail.” “She can’t compete sailing with modern fin spade keel designs, but for the traditional sailor she will provide endless joy,” Fawcett said. Several CD28 owners maintain websites that describe their sailing experiences, which include bluewater passages and Fred Bickum’s three-year, singlehanded voyage completed in 2009 aboard FeNIX , a 1978 model. The Cape Dory 28 is a sturdy, traditionally styled, compact cruising sloop ideal for family coastal cruising yet capable of offshore sailing. Principal dimensions: LOA 28’2”; LWL 22’3”; Beam 8’11”; Draft 4’ ; Displacement 9,000 lbs.; Ballast 3,500 lbs.; Sail area 404 sq. ft. General Market Price Data $35,000 1983 Maine • $24,900 1982 Michigan • $10,000 1978 Washington SAILING’s Value Guide (5-sailboat rating system) PRICE: (4 sailboats) The price of a used Cape Dory 28 can range widely, depending on age, condition and upgrades. A 1978 model in North Carolina that requires an engine is selling online for $5,500, while a fully equipped 1983 boat in excellent shape is on the market in Maine for $35,000. DESIGN QUALITY: (4 sailboats) The CD28 was designed by prominent naval architect Carl Alberg, who preferred boats with an elegant, Scandinavian-inspired sheer, low freeboard and long overhangs. CONSTRUCTION QUALITY: (3 sailboats) Cape Dory Yachts in the 1970s and 1980s had a reputation for building ruggedly constructed boats, with solid fiberglass hulls in polyester resin and fiberglass and sandwich cored decks. All hardware is heavy duty, the seacocks forged in bronze. Teak is used throughout the interior. USER-FRIENDLINESS: (3 sailboats) The CD28 has an anchor roller and self-tending, club-footed jib. The cockpit comfortably accommodates four. The heavy displacement makes for a smooth ride. And the sensible sailplan helps keep the boat under control in high wind conditions. SAFETY: (3 sailboats) Safety features include sturdy lifelines, and roomy deck space, a 3,500-pound full keel with lead ballast to keep the boat upright, and a cockpit bridgedeck on later models that prevents water from entering the cabin. TYPICAL CONDITION: (3 sailboats) Many CD28s are 40 years old, which in all likelihood means they’ve had multiple owners and varying maintenance regimens. The boat’s solid fiberglass hull is difficult to damage and often found in sound condition. Decks may have softened due to water infusion. REFITTING: (3 sailboats) Several owners have replaced the Volvo engine with Beta Marine or Kubota diesels and report much quieter operation. The standing rigging likely needs replacement. Many owners eliminate the club-footed jib in favor of a roller-furling genoa, claiming the latter affords better sail trim. SUPPORT: (2 sailboats) Cape Dory Yachts is no longer in business, but there’s an active Cape Dory Sailboat Owners’ Association (www.capedory.org), with fleets located in the Carolinas, Gulf states, Chesapeake Bay and the Northeast. AVAILABILITY: (3 sailboats) There’s no shortage of Cape Dory 28s on the market. At press time, at least 15 were for sale in the U.S. INVESTMENT AND RESALE: (3 sailboats) The Cape Dory 28 holds its value. Also in Used Boat Notebook

U.S Navy Commissions USS New Jersey, First Ever Submarine For A Mixed Gender Crew World’s Largest Hotel-Branded Superyacht Sets Sail For Maiden Voyage India Establishes Its First Maritime Arbitration Center Yanmar Unveils Its First Electric Propulsion Product For Emission-Free Sailing What Is A Deck Prism On Ships?A Deck Prism was fitted into a ship’s deck to illuminate the areas where sunlight could not penetrate. For centuries, sailing vessels used the reflection and refraction from deck prisms to provide light on board wooden ships. Though candles and kerosene lamps were also used, these posed a hazard. Meanwhile, the glass prism dispersed the natural sunlight into the space below from a small deck opening without compromising the vessel’s seaworthiness. Usually, it hung below the overhead and dispersed light in a sideward fashion. The top was flat and had a flush with the deck, ultimately becoming a part of it. The lens shapes were naturally derived from handmaking the glass on an iron. To get the areas lit brightly, the glass was made colourless with manganese oxide while the purple hue of some specimens found was caused by years of exposure to UV rays. Onboard colliers or coal ships, these prisms were used to keep an eye on the cargo holds. A fire was lit which was then reflected by the prism and could be seen on the ship’s deck even during the day.  What were the important features of Deck Prism?
While most prisms were orbital and flat-bottomed, some were rectangular and flat-bottomed. One of the most famous vessels with prisms shedding ship light was the American whaling vessel, Charles W. Morgan. The vessel which operated during the early 1840s, has been re-modelled and placed in the Mystic Seaport repository. While being restored from 1977 to 1984, it was found that many original deck prisms of the ship had cracked or were damaged. Molds were taken from the original 19th century prisms and hand-cast replicas were produced. Replica deck prisms from this ship are now sold in the U.S and come in decorative packaging, perfect for awards, anniversaries or even graduation gifts for maritime enthusiasts. Many maritime repositories have old deck prisms as artefacts. In the present age, electronic nautical equipment is available and ships are well-lit, however, this piece of equipment is an intrinsic part of the maritime heritage and has acquired a significant place in nautical history.

IMEXUS 28 – The perfect allrounderThe IMEXUS 28 is the perfect all-round boat for all water sports enthusiasts who want to perfectly combine sailing and cruising with a motorboat. Intelligent craftsmanship meets modern design and high quality in the IMEXUS 28. The key to the IMEXUS is the proven water ballast system. During sailing, the yacht takes on approx. 730 litres of water as stabilisation weight, ensuring always lies safely and streamlined on the water. The sailing characteristics of the IMEXUS 28 are excellent for its class. Even at a wind force of only 3 Beaufort, the sailing yacht reaches a theoretical hull speed of 6.8 knots, making sailing a pure pleasure.  IMEXUS 28 – Full PerformanceBy emptying the ballast tank, the IMEXUS 28 transforms from a family- friendly, fast sailing yacht to a fast motor boat in less than five minutes and with just a few steps. Depending on the engine, the IMEXUS 28 can reach up to 29 knots and can glide effortlessly with a 90 hp outboard engine. There is plenty of power so you can even waterski or wakeboard with the IMEXUS 28. The yacht is available as an outboard or inboard version up to 170 hp, depending on the type of engine. ‘If you like sailing, motor boating, river cruising or taking your boat to explore far away places:The imexus is one of the most versatile boats on the market in the world.’.  In the cockpit there is enough space for six people. For easy handling, the IMEXUS 28 redirects all halyards, downhauls and uphauls, the mast laying system and the operation of the keel to the cockpit, so that single-handed sailoring is easy. The yacht is also equipped with side walkways and a guard rails to facilitate access on deck. ‘The idea was to create a powersailer of superior quality that would provideMaximum pleasure, comfort and fun for young and old.’, the cabin – feel like home. The interior of the IMEXUS 28 is extremely comfortable. The cabin can accommodate up to six people. A deck height of 1.85 m makes standing upright possible. Elegant light oak wood and many large windows create a bright and homely ambience below deck. The permanent king size berth at the stern offers amazing space for a boat of this size. The bow is also equipped with two large berths with a length of 2 m. If desired, the lying surface can be extended and two additional berths can be added sideways. The upholstery is available in various colours and textures for a homely feeling. Sleeping places for up to six person incl. king size bedHeadroom of 1,85 m for upright standing, extensive storage for travel equipment below the seats, separate heads with washbasin, galley with sink, stove and cooling option, running cold water with an option for hot water, big folding table for up to six persons with included beverage compartment, sensibly located led lights.  ‘ From sailing boat to motorboat in 5 minutes !’Another safety aspect of the IMEXUS 28 is its independence from weather conditions. Should sailing conditions become uncomfortable due to weather or strong tides the IMEXUS 28 can turn on the powerful engine and get you to the shelter of a harbour or marina quickly. The swivel keel avoids damage to the boat, in the event that contact is made with an underwater obstruction.  Not only at sea does the water ballast system prove to be an ingenious solution. After draining the water, the IMEXUS 28 is considerably lighter than comparable sailing boats and can therefore be towed by many vehicles.
