ohlson 28 sailboat

Review of Ohlson 28

Basic specs..

The boat is equipped with 4 berths.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

Unknown keel type

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.65 - 1.75 meter (5.41 - 5.71 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Ohlson 28 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD7 diesel engine at 13 hp (9 kW). Calculated max speed is about 4.7 knots

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Ohlson 28 is 1.78, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Ohlson 28 is about 124 kg/cm, alternatively 695 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 124 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 695 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Has anyone owned an OHLSON 38 ?

• Add to quote

Yes, and still do.........the boat has been in our family since 1971, raced hard and cruised extensively. I would not want to be on any other boat in big weather. Since I only have one post I cannot insert links.... Sorry for what I am going to do next to deal with this 10 post requirement.  

I do have many photos. In 7 posts  

I have photos to add in 6 posts  

I have photos to add in 5 posts....oops must wait 30 seconds. this is stupid.  

Photos in 4 posts........  

Good links and photos in 3 posts..  

Getting closer , now 2 posts remain, yet count seems off. Might need to torment the masses a bit longer  

This again seems foolish, but rules are rules. 1 post to go.  

Well I hope this will be worth the while. All this to answer one question. I should have been posting sooner I suppose.  

The 10 post rule must be annoying to new members, but is meant to reduce those spammer one-post-wonders - seems to be working OK.  

Oh no , I felt stupid, getting my numbers up.  

How can any sailor feel stupid with a boat that beautiful? Where's the mast?  

To answer the onriginal question, yes we liked and continue to like the boat. As you can see, Tynaje does not have the reverse transom. I like both transoms and think both make the boat look great. The boat is obviously not the all glass model most likely sailed in the USVI or the BVI. I have never sailed on one of the all glass Ohlsons, but have raced extensively against a very well sailed all glass Ohlson. That boat was fast and well maintained. I would never consider taking Tynaje south for any period of time due to the amount of varnish on the boat. The all glass boat is the only choice for the islands. They do look different but they are all Ohlson 38s. There are so many great examples of the glass version around, a fine deal should be easy to find. If it were in another country, delivery by sea could not be made on a safer boat.  

very nice! Thanks for the input. your boat looks outstanding. Been out here in Stewart Florida for a few days and missed your reply  

figured I owuld add to this thread. Just splashed her. Haven't had the sails up. But truely a right-sized boat....and PRETTY We just bough a 68 Ohlson sloop. Insanely awsome boat. Most perfect restoration.  

It is currenty moored in Marion MA

Ohlson 29 is a 29 ′ 9 ″ / 9.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Einar Ohlson and built by Artekno OY between 1970 and 1975.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Built by Artekno from 1970 - 1976. First equiped with a Vire inboard. Rights to the design aquired by Winga Marin (1975) where a modified version became the more popular WINGA 29. Several hundred boats of this design (under both names) have been built.

read more about these all-revealing numbers...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Ohlson 38

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 15.5 suggests that the Ohlson 38 will need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 40.3 means that the Ohlson 38 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 317, tells us the Ohlson 38 is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 35.0 suggests that crew comfort of an Ohlson 38 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.6 tells us that an Ohlson 38 would be a considerately safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

Ohlson 38 Sailboat: A Classic Cruiser-Racer

The Ohlson 38 is 38-foot (12 m) cruiser-racer designed by Swedish naval architect Einar Ohlson in 1967, and has proven its capabilities in many races and voyages around the world.

Overview The Ohlson 38 is a classic design that has a timeless appeal. It has a sleek and elegant profile, with a long overhang at the bow and stern, a low freeboard, and a moderate beam. The hull is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (GRP), which was a new technology at the time of its creation. The deck and coachroof are also made of GRP, and are bonded to the hull with an inward flange. The Ohlson 38 has a displacement of about 7.5 tons, and a ballast of about 3 tons.

The Ohlson 38 was originally designed as a racer, but it also offers ample space and comfort for cruising. It can accommodate up to six people in three separate cabins, plus a spacious saloon, a galley, a head, and a navigation station. The Ohlson 38 is well-equipped for offshore sailing, with a large fuel tank, a freshwater tank, and ample storage space. It also has a reliable engine, usually a Volvo Penta diesel with about 30 hp.

The Ohlson 38 is known for its speed and performance, especially in light to moderate winds. It has a sail area of about 700 sq ft (65 sq m), and can reach speeds of up to 8 knots. It has a balanced helm, and handles well in various conditions. It is also seaworthy and stable, thanks to its deep fin keel and skeg-hung rudder. The Ohlson 38 has won many races and awards, such as the Observer Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race in 1976, the Round Britain Race in 1978, and the Yachting Monthly Trophy in 1980.

Accommodation The Ohlson 38 has a traditional layout that offers comfort and convenience for cruising. The interior is finished in teak woodwork, which gives it a warm and cozy feel. The headroom is about 6 ft (1.8 m) throughout.

The accommodation consists of three separate cabins: a forward cabin with a V-berth, a main cabin with two settees that can convert into berths, and an aft cabin with two quarter berths. The forward cabin also has a hanging locker and storage space under the berth. The main cabin has a folding table that can seat six people comfortably, as well as shelves and lockers for storage. The aft cabin has access to the engine compartment and the cockpit locker.

The galley is located on the port side of the main cabin, near the companionway. It has a two-burner stove with oven, a sink with pressurized water, an icebox or refrigerator, and plenty of counter space and storage cabinets. The navigation station is located on the starboard side of the main cabin, opposite the galley. It has a large chart table with drawers, an instrument panel, and a seat.

The head is located on the port side of the forward cabin, next to the hanging locker. It has a marine toilet, a sink with pressurized water, a shower head with drain pump, and storage space.

Hull and Deck The hull of the Ohlson 38 is made of GRP using hand-laid fiberglass matting and woven roving with polyester resin. The hull is stiffened by longitudinal stringers and transverse frames that are bonded to the hull with fiberglass tape. The hull is also reinforced by plywood bulkheads that are tabbed to the hull with fiberglass tape.

The deck of the Ohlson 38 is also made of GRP using hand-laid fiberglass matting and woven roving with polyester resin. The deck is bonded to the hull with an inward flange that forms an integral part of the hull-deck joint. The deck is also stiffened by plywood core sandwiched between two fiberglass layers. The deck has a molded nonskid surface, and is fitted with stainless steel stanchions, lifelines, cleats, and handrails.

The cockpit of the Ohlson 38 is spacious and comfortable, with a single wheel steering system that is connected to the rudder by a cable and quadrant. The cockpit has two large lockers on each side, providing storage space for sails, lines, fenders, and other gear. The cockpit also has a bridge deck that separates it from the companionway, and a lazarette that provides access to the rudder post and the emergency tiller.

The Ohlson 38 has a low-profile coachroof that extends from the mast to the companionway. The coachroof has four fixed windows on each side, and two opening hatches on the top. The coachroof also has handrails on both sides, and a dorade vent on the forward end.

Mast and Rigging The Ohlson 38 has a masthead sloop rig, with a single aluminum mast that is keel-stepped. The mast has two sets of spreaders, and is supported by stainless steel wire standing rigging that includes a forestay, a backstay, two upper shrouds, two lower shrouds, and two intermediate shrouds. The mast also has an internal conduit for wiring and halyards.

The Ohlson 38 has a boom that is attached to the mast by a gooseneck fitting. The boom has an internal outhaul and reefing system, and is controlled by a topping lift and a boom vang. The boom also has sheet blocks and cleats for the mainsail. The Ohlson 38 has a roller furling system for the headsail, which is usually a genoa or a jib. The headsail is attached to the forestay by a luff tape, and is controlled by two sheet winches and tracks on the side decks. The headsail also has a UV protection strip on the leech and foot.

The Ohlson 38 can also carry other sails, such as a spinnaker or a staysail. The spinnaker is flown from a spinnaker pole that is stored on the mast or on deck brackets. The spinnaker is controlled by two spinnaker winches and blocks on the cockpit coaming. The staysail is flown from an inner forestay that is attached to the mast below the first spreaders. The staysail is controlled by two sheet winches and tracks on the coachroof.

Keel and Rudder The Ohlson 38 has a fin keel that is made of cast iron with lead ballast. The keel is bolted to the hull with stainless steel bolts that are embedded in the fiberglass laminate. The keel has a hydrodynamic shape that reduces drag and improves performance.

The Ohlson 38 has a skeg-hung rudder that is made of GRP with foam core. The rudder is attached to the skeg with stainless steel pintles and gudgeons. The rudder has a balanced shape that enhances maneuverability and reduces helm pressure.

Conclusion The Ohlson 38 yacht is a classic cruiser racer that offers speed, performance, and comfort for recreational sailors. It has a sleek and elegant design, a spacious and cozy interior, a sturdy and reliable construction, and a versatile and efficient rig. It has also proven its capabilities in many races and voyages around the world, making it a popular choice among sailing enthusiasts.

The Ohlson 38 ’A boat for all reasons’  Designer: Einar Ohlson FACTS AND QUOTES It was in the middle of the 1960-ies when demand for a replacement of the hugely successful cruiser racer, the Ohlson 36/Mark II, came up. Most likely this was asked for by Richard ’Dick’ Sheehan from Campbell and Sheehan of Larchmont, N.Y. who himself had been racing as well as marketing the Ohlson boats successfully in the US.  Einar Ohlson developed a more modern hull with a separated rudder attached to a skeg. Great emphasis had been placed on this design (S/Y100) and lots of the previously gained design experience from the then highly competitive 5.5 M class had been factored into this design. More so, Einar Ohlson used his access to the test tank in Göteborg to tow the O-38 as a model to further hone the design.  The boat was a game changes in many ways:  It was to be built in the then modern material GRP and it should be marketed across the world. Thus the GRP work was offered to Tyler Boats of Tonbriedge/Kent in the UK, the then leading toll moulder for GRP, known for its outstanding quality.  To satisfy a wide range of customers, hulls were built in GRP entirely with two options for sterns. Decks and coachroofs were moulded in GRP with sandwich decks or could be ordered in wood.  To allow for wide distribution, hulls were availabe to a number of yards across Europe who mostly finished them in GRP. Only the yards on the Swedish west coast and in Germany delivered boats with wooden deck and superstructure. Again a large part of the production from the Swedish yards went to the US, boats built elsewhere in Europe were sold into local markets.  First boats were delivered in 1967/68 and production stopped somewhen around 1980 when demand dropped. Later boats had been redesigned to reduce building costs and where sold as Tufglass 38 directly by Tyler Boats as well as do-it-yourself constructions.  As with the other ocean going cruisers designed by Einar Ohlson, the 38-footer was available as sloop and yawl, which was particulary attractive to US clients. Though the boat did not look to be designed for a particular racing formular Einar Ohlson supplied sail plans to satisfy the needs of RORC, CCA and IOR racing formulas. This was achieved by modifying sail area, ie mainly boom length between 3.6 and 4.25 m whereas the main mast was used pretty much the same way by all the designs and the fore-triangle remained the same across the time of production. Except for one boat built in Germany with a luff length 13.25 m luff of the main remained around 12 m.  The O-38 received few modifications: A short cabin version was designed for British sailing legend Sir Owen Aisher with an increased luff length in the main but the project was not carried forward. A centre-cockpit version with a separate owner’s cabin in the aft was designed in 1973 but was neither introduced. Later in the 1970s production moved entirely to Tyler Boats with some more modifications: the hull was shortened somewhat with the negative transom and the so far built-in ballast in lead disappeared in favour of a cast-iron keel bolted onto the modified hull. Given the higher volume required for cast-iron this was done to the detriment of the tankage above the internal lead of the keel.   The Ohlson 38 design became a racing legend immediately and she is known for her excellent sailing characteristics and performs well over a wide range of conditions including off-shore sailing. These boats have participated in races crossing the Atlantic and Pacific and have circumvented the globe repeatedly and continue to do so.  TOP, The Ohlson Project, has identified 128 boats built in total.    Length              38 feet – 11.47 meter Lenght on waterline      8.00 meter Beam                10 feet – 3.09 meter Draft                 1.7 meter Displacement                6,700 kilos Sail area                       45.00 m2 Yards                                 Alexander Robertson & Sons, Sandbanks, Argyl, Scotland, number unknown Svineviken Båtvarv, Bröderns Martinsson, Svineviken (boats completed in wood), number unknown Bröderna Ölsonner, later Malö Yachts, Kungsviken (boats built in GRP), one source mentions 20 boats built Matthiessen & Paulsen, Arnis/Schlei, Germany, 3 boats built                                             Navalco SA, Le Legue-St. Brieuc, /France Tyler Boats, Tonbridge, Kent, United Kingdom Material available:  Drawings, book publications, newsletter articles, see photos, communication with individual owners see http://www.ohlson38.de   https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/ohlson-38  Photo courtesy of Lutz v. Meyerincks Heroic Devon captain saved 104 lives in boat tragedy Hundreds of people are believed to have died after a boat sunk off the coast of Greece - but there were survivors thanks to the brave efforts of a Devon captain and his crew 11:49, 9 SEP 2024 Get the pick of the week's best stories and fascinating features direct to your inbox every Saturday and Sunday morning in our exclusive Weekender newsletter We have more newsletters A heroic Devon captain who led a brave mission to make a perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea at night to rescue more than 100 people after a boat capsized has been recognised with a prestigious medal, along with three of his lifeboat crew members. Disaster struck off the coast of Greece on June 14, 2023, when a migrant vessel began to sink. The boat, named Adriana, was heading to Italy and is thought to have been carrying up to 750 migrants. Only 104 people survived and that is thanks to the quick response and actions of Captain Richard Kirby, of Teignmouth, and his crew of 32 on board a 100m private family-owned superyacht. The incident is said to have been one of the most devastating incidents to take place in the Mediterranean Sea in recent years. Cpt Kirby told DevonLive that they around 70 miles from Crete when the coastguard radioed the crew via radio and appealed for assistance to help a 'vessel in distress'. Brave girl, 3, beats shock diagnosis that began with 'small purple dots' Devon's best chippy 2024 as voted for by you No further details were given and it wasn't until they arrived at the location around 20 minutes later that they realised the horrific scene they had just embarked upon. Cpt Kirby, 69, recalled: "When the call arrived it was 2.30am so it was pitch black and when we got there the boat had already sunk. A small coastal boat was already there with lights on and people were screaming in the water. "They had no life jackets on so there were no reflective tapes to help us. We launched our own rescue boat and in the end over 100 people were rescued but they think they were 750 on board. "I had never come across anything like it; not even when I served in the Falklands War. It was a gruesome job for everybody. "There was probably 30 minutes to an hour of rescuing with the lifeboat until the noises in the water stopped. We had all the searchlights going and listened for any sounds. "The survivors didn't have any clothes; they were just in their underwear so we gave them our own clothes. Search efforts continued up to daylight and by then other ships had arrived to help, including the lifeboat from the mainland." On the orders of the local authorities, Cpt Kirby and his crew were tasked with taking the survivors they had rescued to Kalamata, which was four hours away, for mainland medical assistance. Luckily the vessel was big enough to cope with the sheer scale of the rescue operation. Cpt Kirby explained: "Although they are called superyachts it is over 3,000 tons so because of their size they are ships and are manned like ships. I have worked for the same family for 23 years but this boat was launched 16 years ago and it has a crew of 32 so it's a big boat and travels worldwide. "At the time of the incident, we were carrying no passenger and were heading from Sardinia to Crete. It has not been easy to forget what happened that night and it's one of those things you shouldn't forget." This week, Cpt Kirby and three rescue boat sailors on board the superyacht - Coxswain Ben Owen Bramwell from Leicestershire, Trystan Tanner from Bicester and Bosun Ashley Oliver West from Worcester - received the prestigious Merchant Navy Medal for "services to support, welfare, and rescue". They will receive their medals at a special ceremony on November 5, and will be among nine recipients of the medal. Cpt Kirby said: "It came completely out of the blue. I was totally shocked but very honoured, of course, because it is a fantastic accolade. "But you can't run a boat on your own. It's a team effort and the medal belongs to the whole crew and everyone else who saves lives at sea. We have a dedicated rescue boat team who are trained for if there is ever such a need and there was that night." Cpt Kirby, who is married and has a son, has arrived back in the UK yesterday, September 5, after being away three months at sea. He grew up and learned to sail in Teignmouth where he is planning to return. He recalled: "I was brought up in Teignmouth in a house my father built. No one else has ever owned it and when both my parents passed away I kept the house. I am now in the process of renovating the house which overlooks the river and sea to move back into it. "My father had a small cabin cruiser on the River Teign and we messed around on the water there. I always felt admiration for the people who work on the river as it's a challenging place to sail as it's a trial estuary. It's a good place to cut your water teeth. "When I left school I had to do something so I joined the Merchant Navy as a cadet with a British shipping company and became a master mariner after about 15 years. In the middle of that I was to sent to the Falklands during the Falklands War. "I am away for six to eight months a year. It's been my career for 50 years so I'm getting the hang of it now!" When asked if he has any plans to retire, he replied: "I should retire, yes. That's the plan."
