Her design provides a fast and agile performer coupled with classic Tartan interior and external craftsmanship.
Ease of handling was paramount in the development of Piper and is exemplified by the roller furl Genoa, mainsail lazy
jack system and light displacement.
Piper's low CG shoal draft keel provides exceptional stability and access to secluded harbors, inlets and anchorages.
PECCAVI is a great boat for a comfortable day sail or to sail across to sound to grab lunch with family and friends or for
an extended cruise. And if you are up for it some competitive fun Club Racing. The Tartan 28 Piper can do it all..
