OK...
Haven't seen that type of number before. Wonder if it is registration number. Find the Hull Identification Number. It should be on the transom, starboard side, near the top. It will begin with LYP or LYA, depending on where the boat was made. That will tell you the model of the boat. I have some info on the 28, not much, I can send it to you if you want. Just send me an email via this site and I will send it straight away.

Need to measure yourself
That won't help you. You need to make the measurements yourself, especially if you have roller furling, as furlers are often owner installed, leading to different sail luff lengths due to variance in foil length. See attached link. A big difference for the L28, is probably the same as observed for the L25. The older boats have the mast further back with a compression post in the cabin. The Mark V L25's have the mast further forward (J=8 feet vs. ~10)with no compression post. It is not required as the mast step is closer or over the bulkhead. I had a jib damaged in a storm and spent a lot of time looking for used. Just a thought...I am reasonably sure the rig for the L28 is identical the the L25...I really miss all the info on the original lancerowners site. If so, the dimensions of a Catalina 25 sail are similar from a height perspective, only due to my much smaller J, a 100% jib for a Catalina 25 would be a 145% genoa on my boat! The cloth would be too heavy though...but if I was desperate... Bob

LYP28
Thanks for the information, the number and gross weight were under the V birth along with another registration number. Any information you have on the 28 would be appreciated, thank you. Do you know anything about getting to or sealing the ballast without destroying the sole. Ive been told to go to the inspection or drain port in the head area forward of the cabin and you can get to it there. I don't have a drain or inspection port in that area. Hope I'm not being a pest and any help is appreciated Thanks Rick
