A new H28 is being built in Florida by Bob Carson using a hull made by Middleton Marine. Bob is a boat cabinet maker who specializes in fitting out and detailing new boats.
Jamie Thomas took the photos on his last visit to Florida in December 2002. Jamie reports that the quality of his finishing work is exceptional.
Bob is working closely with Bill Middleton of Middleton Marine in Florida. Bob and Bill also have one other sister fiberglass hull for sale at present at US$5,000.00 complete with engine beds but no deck. Contact Bob Carson on USA 654-467-2405 and leave a message or Bill Middleton on: USA 386-462-4939.

The mast is supported by a stainless steel beam running across the top of the cabin house and down the side of the hull. Visible aft of a florescent tube is the wooden trim that covers the mast support. More of the support is visible against the hull on the centre right of the picture
