Remarks

With her pleasing low profile and sweeping sheerline, this Sun Charm 28/Brinkcraft 28 is a very spacious craft with a large cockpit and cavernous cabin, and her diesel inboard engine and easily handled fractional Bermudan rig make her an excellent family sailing cruiser. Realistically priced for a quick sale, she is on the water in commission and ready to sail!
