Won't go upwind or steer in reverse, but out on the open sea it's probably going to be as comfortable and safe as anything that size.
What I don't understand is the sick-bags in the photo. It's a 28 foot boat, if you're going to be sick, do it over the side!
I used to own a Swanson 28 ages ago, and now getting back into boating after a long hiatus so I spoke to Rod, couple of things to know. Boats in Lemmon tree passage, been sitting on the mooring for 2 years, needs an antifoul. The engine work is legit. Was done by Andrew at Northside Shipwrights as was most of the things listed. Couldn't get an age on the rigging (standing or running).
I really loved my Swanson, nice wide beam, quite comfortable. Cockpit always felt a little small, but moving from a tiller to a wheel (coming from a Tophat 25), really appreciated that boat. The forward facing windows in the cabin were nice too.
If it had a furler and a known age on the rigging, i would of jumped at it.
