The Sovereign 28 is an American sailboat that was designed as a cruiser and first built in 1983.
The design was developed into the Sovereign 30 in 1998.
The design was built by Sovereign Yachts in the United States, starting in 1983, but it is now out of production.
The Sovereign 28 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig with a bowsprit, a center cockpit, a clipper bow, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,800 lb (3,084 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 3.25 ft (0.99 m) with the standard keel.
The boat is fitted with a German BMW diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 17 U.S. gallons (64 L; 14 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 19 U.S. gallons (72 L; 16 imp gal).
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a sink. The head is located on the starboard side of the companionway and includes a shower.
The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h).
