The J/28 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,900 lb (3,583 kg) and carries 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal).[1]
