Remarks :The IMEXUS 28 is a slop rigged yacht, built in Poland from Imexus Yachts Sp. known before as Odin yacht. This IMEXUS 28 has one owner from new. British Flag and British owners, kept her in very good condition and used her only in Spanish waters.
By emptying the ballast tank, the IMEXUS 28 transforms from a family-friendly, fast sailing yacht to a fast motorboat in less than five minutes and with just a few steps. Depending on the engine, the IMEXUS 28 can reach up to 29 knots. There is plenty of power, so you can even water-ski or wakeboard with the IMEXUS 28.
The boat is constructed in GPR architecture. it has two skin rudders and a plastic sword with a mass of 55 kg. The hull and deck are built with the manual method. The body beyond the waterline has been built in double-shell architecture; above the waterline is manufactured in massive laminate architecture. The hull is stiffened with laminated bulkheads out of plywood on GPR devices. The deck is a built-in sandwich design. Additional stiffening is achieved through the built-in-water tanks.
All fittings and hatches are made of stainless, seawater resistant materials. These are connected with the GRP deck and carefully sealed. At strong points, where higher forces are entered, the deck is additionally strengthened with seawater resistant aluminium stiffeners with are laminated into the deck. The deck is equipped with a bow and stern basket manufactured of stainless steel pipes. Between these two baskets, there is a sea railing with a constant high of 500mm.
To avoid drifting in sailing conditions, the keel can be downed. You can operate the lifting keel via a line; which goes from the mast to the cockpit. The draught of the lifting keel is 1.45 m; be careful you should never run aground. We were advised by the manufacturer’s agent to fully lower the keel when sailing and to lower it partially or fully to avoid drifting when motoring.
The functionality of the lifting keel and the retrieval equipment must be checked once a year by the specialised shop, and the ropes have to be renewed if necessary.
