Design
The Sun Way 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a rounded reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and centerboard. The fin keel model displaces {{convert|5291|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|1764|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast, while the centerboard version displaces {{convert|5732|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and has twin rudders.
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of {{convert|4.92|ft|m|abbr=on}}, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of {{convert|5.08|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|2.13|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo 2002 diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|7|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|26|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee around a drop-leaf table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located opposite the galley on the starboard side and includes a hanging locker.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|6.44|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
