==Design==
The Sun Dream 28 is a recreational [[Engineering:Keelboat|keelboat]], built predominantly of [[Chemistry:Fiberglass|fiberglass]], with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, a single set of swept [[Engineering:Spreader (sailboat)|spreaders]] and [[Chemistry:Aluminum|aluminum]] spars with 1X19 [[Chemistry:Stainless steel|stainless steel]] wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type     [[Engineering:Rudder|rudder]] controlled by a [[Engineering:Tiller|tiller]] and a fixed fin [[Engineering:Keel|keel]] or stub keel and retractable centerboard. The fin keel model displaces {{convert|5936|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2425|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast, while the centerboard version displaces {{convert|6398|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2800|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/><ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of {{convert|5.37|ft|m|abbr=on}}, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of {{convert|6.40|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|3.40|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/><ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

The boat is fitted with an inboard diesel engine of {{convert|18|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|7.1|u.s.gal}}, the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|26.4|u.s.gal}} and the hot water heater has a capacity of {{convert|19.8|u.s.gal}}.<ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

The design's interior typically has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The [[Engineering:Galley (kitchen)|galley]] is located on the port side just forward of the [[Engineering:Companionway|companionway]] ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The [[Engineering:Head (watercraft)|head]] is located just aft of the navigation station on the starboard side. Cabin maximum headroom is {{convert|74|in|cm|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Guide"/><ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical [[Engineering:Spinnaker|spinnaker]] of {{convert|684|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

The design has a [[Physics:Hull speed|hull speed]] of {{convert|6.63|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Guide"/><ref name="Specs"/><ref name="SpecsCB"/>

<!-- ==Operational history== -->
==Operational history==
In a 1988 review in ''Cruising World'' described the design, "her interior arrangement also clouds the issue of her length overall. Designer Tony Castro has drawn in two double berths, one in the bow and the other aft to starboard. It opposes a fully private bath to port. The galley and chart table are both better-than-average size for a boat of this size and are positioned at the base of the companionway just aft of the settees and dining area. There's loads of light inside, mostly due to the effective, space-age ports that wrap around the coach roof. There are a variety of optional powerplants and, if so inclined, an owner can even specify a lifting keel."<ref name="GoogleBooks">{{cite web|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=dZvBxcbd1gkC&pg=RA2-PA113|title= Twenty-Eight Plus|access-date= 30 October 2022|work= Cruising World|date= September 1988}}</ref>
