Worth knowing
Emsworth Shipyard Ltd; cover, cost and conditions
Emsworth Shipyard is tied to one boat with a quiet following: the Stag 28. Salterns Yacht Agency commissioned her in 1976 and Peter Milne drew the lines, a designer then known mainly for dinghies such as the Fireball. The brief asked for shoal draught, decent performance and generous headroom below. The yard built the boats, according to the source between 1976 and 1980. Two details give a Stag 28 away at once: a mast stepped in a tabernacle, so it can be lowered without a crane, and a saloon with close to two metres of standing room.
Our model records hold a single design from this yard, the Stag 28 sailing yacht at 8.5 metres, entered for build years 1974 to 1982. No entry runs into recent build years, so the yard's story is a closed chapter. The Stag 28 came in two versions: a fixed shallow iron fin with about 1.35 metres of draught, or a centreboard version with a steel plate inside a short stub keel, giving roughly 0.95 to 2.1 metres. Below decks there are five berths in two cabins, a linear galley, a dinette that converts into a double, a chart table, an enclosed heads and joinery in teak and ash. Most boats carry a small Volvo diesel.
On a used Stag 28 the centreboard version deserves the closest look. The steel plate, its pivot and the lifting tackle live in salt water, so rust, wear and a stiff lifting mechanism are worth checking with the boat out of the water. The tabernacle and its hinge pin carry the mast whenever it is raised or lowered and should be free of cracks and corrosion. Teak and ash joinery ages well when dry, so damp lockers point to deck leaks. With her modest draught she suits creeks, rivers and canals as much as coastal passages, and many owners use her exactly that way.
