Alo yachts was founded by Alf Josef Ortang. The first boat was the ALO 28, to his own design. In a 10-year period, over 150 were built. Alf Ortang wanted to offer their ALO 28 customers a larger boat with a little more of everything, and hired Jan Bjerke, who at that time was unemployed young designer, who had worked with Pelle Petterson. The desire was to draw a winning IOR 3/4 tonnner to compete at the upcoming 1976 worlds though Ortang wanted an all-purpose boat. The result, the ALO 33, didn’t sell as well (45 boats) proved expensive to build, as was was discontinued in 1981. Designer Freddy Mikkelsen was commissioned to design the ALO “Mikkel” 26, introduced in 1977. 120 boats were produced in a number of different versions until 1984. The last boat built by Alo was ALO 96 and ALO 96MS, (a motorsailer version). The boat was designed by Finn Møller. During the winter of 1983-84 Alo Yachts was hit by a fire and production was eventually moved to Treungen where consruction of the ALO 96 and 96MS continued until 1987 when the company closed it’s doors. In it’s 17 years of operation, the company built around 400 boats.

Review of Alo 28
Basic specs..
The Alo 28 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated. As the surface of a fin type keel is just a fraction of the total wet surface, the difference between an iron keel and a lead keel can in reality be ignored for cruising yachts.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.52 - 1.62 meter (4.99 - 5.29 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat is typically equipped with an engine.
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 Alo 28 is 1.75, 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 6.2 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 Alo 28 is about 112 kg/cm, alternatively 630 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 112 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 630 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 20m 2 (215 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Aloha 28 (8.5) Specs
Disclaimer:
Please Note, during the lengthy production runs of the A27 (8.2) and A28 (8.5), Ouyang Boatworks used a number of different mast and sail suppliers and specifications with differing mast and boom lengths. We are not aware of similar variations in the A30 and A32 models, but it is always possible. With this in mind, please do not rely on the measurements provided if you have to pass under an overhead obstruction (eg bridge or powerlines) where clearance will be limited, when ordering sails or establishing a racing handicap. If you require accurate numbers for any of these purposes we strongly recommend you measure your actual boat and we accept no responsibility for the consequences of any inaccuracies in the quoted figures, or in variations applying to your boat.
The Aloha 28 is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Brewer/Walstrom and built in fiberglass by Ouyang Boat Works (CAN) between 1972 and 1988.
The Aloha 28 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, “Multihulls for Cruising and Racing”, International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

Regardless of their size or function, all sailing boats share certain essential features and characteristics that make them effective for sailing on the water. The hull design is a crucial factor in determining the way a sailing boat like ALO 28 handles on the water. Different hull shapes can provide different levels of speed, balance, and ...
