The exciting Tom 28

The Tom 28 is one of the most exciting and

highly respected Match Racing boats used

on the international circuit.

Obtaining the best performance from the

Tom can be technically demanding for the

experienced sailor and for the less

experienced racer it is forgiving allowing

each individual to sail at a level suiting their

own experience. For those wishing to race,

knowledge of racing rules is required.

Currently there are active Tom 28 fleets in

Spain and the USA. It is the official boat of

the Chicago Match Race Center (USA) and

the Valencia Match Race Academy (Spain)

The Tom has been used as a training boat for

some of the America’s Cup teams

A superb sailor combining the feeling of being on a

bigger faster yacht and the dexterity / handling

associated with a performance dinghy. The Tom

keeps a good balance responding well to varying

wind conditions particularly gusts.

The Tom provides excellent feel on the helm via the

sensitive and responsive rudder.

Encourages crews to use knowledge and expertise

in regards to trimming, sail setting, maneuvers and

race tactics.

Offers great equality in performance at regattas

where 6 boats are provided by the RCN Calpe

Sailing Center.

The Tom provides enjoyable gratifying sailing for less

experienced crews who may also wish to improve

their experience on a performance match racing

boat. It can be sailed comfortably as a large

dinghy.
