Here's a link to the Yachtsnet Archive page for the Stag 28. The archive is a useful starting point for info about lots of different boats, also worth (if you heven't already) googling for owners accociations, facebook groups, etc. I'm sure somebody will be along before long who's owned one. By the looks of it could be a nice choice but as with all older boats condition is everything - condition of the hull itself and age/condition/need for replacement of all the expensive bits, these mainly being engine, sails, standing rigging, bunk cushions and canvas sprayhoods, sail covers, etc.

We've sailed a Stag for the past 18 years. One of the best kept secrets in the second hand market. Well built, very roomy, loads of storage, easy to sail and not too sluggish.
The owners group is now at... https://groups.io/g/stag28
Joining the group costs nothing and will allow you access to several albums of photos, files of magazine test reports and, of course, replies from existing owners.

Thank you for this info!

Stag 28 was our first yacht and owned for 12 years. Sailed to W Country and then N France to Brittany. Sturdy and like a Tardis below. Lifting keel or some fins. Recommended.
