2020 Axopar Boats 28 Cabin

• By Pete McDonald
• Updated: March 19, 2020

In nautical terms, it’s called a plumb bow, but after one look at the Axopar 28 Cabin’s sharp stem, you’d be more inclined to call it a carving knife. Axopar builds some of the most unique-looking boats in the world, but all of its European form is designed to maximize its function, and all of those style points led to great performance during our test.

The Finnish builder designed the Axopar line to closely mimic the ride of a RIB, without adding on the inflatable collar. The 28 Cabin has a low center of gravity, with low freeboard and a hull form that both enhance its seakeeping and overall efficiency. That eye-catching plumb bow sharpens to a 60-degree angle, hence its knifelike ability to slice through waves and chop. Moving aft, the Axopar incorporates twin steps to provide a more level running attitude. The twin steps and low overall weight result in an efficiency that allows it to achieve comparable speeds to similarly sized boats with less power, and get away with a smaller fuel tank—the design spiral in action. At the transom, deadrise tapers to 21 degrees.

While the looks draw eyes from the docks, Axopar says one of the most important design elements on the boat is the double chines. Adding a second chine above the traditional hard chine at the waterline both improves stability and adds lift, similar to the way an inflatable or foam collar works on a RIB.

How did it all work? On test day, we recorded a top-end of 54.3 mph with twin 200 hp Mercury FourStroke V-6 outboards on the transom. But more importantly, we took on a stout head sea running outside the inlet, and the 28 Cabin performed admirably. We pushed the throttles above the comfort level and waited for the bone-jarring pounding that never came. The boat performed equally well in following and quartering seas, and felt graceful during hard-over turns at speed.

Interior and Accessories

Abovedecks, Axopar uses a modular system to build its 28 into a cabin, a T-top center-console, or an open crew-boat format. The enclosed pilothouse features twin captain’s chairs at the helm, with flip-up bolsters and a sofa behind. Visibility at the helm proved as excellent as the ride.

How We Tested

• Engines: Twin 200 hp Mercury FourStroke V-6
• Drive/Props: Outboard/15 1/4″ x 21″ 3-blade Enertia stainless steel
• Gear Ratio: 1.85:1 Fuel Load: 74 gal. Water on Board: 0 gal. Crew Weight: 580 lb.

High Points

• Twin-stepped hull with double chines and plumb bow provides a great ride.
• Open transom design helps this boat quickly shed water.
• Helm seats can be rotated fully aft to create a cabin conversation pit at anchor.
• Narrow bow precludes the wraparound seating common in big bowriders.
• We wouldn’t mind more seating in the aft cockpit.

Toughest Competitor

While there is no direct competitor, try a RIB or a dual-console such as the Cobia 280 DC ($168,452 with twin 200 hp Yamaha outboards).

Panorama view

Large windscreen and side windows provide excellent all-around visibility and give full panoramic views when enjoying memorable moments inside the cozy cabin.  

Spacious fore deck

The spacious fore deck is perfect for an early morning coffee in the sun and a great place to sit back and enjoy sunny days.  A large anchor box in the bow will hold the anchor, fenders and ropes easily as well as other equipment you need for your journey.  

Easy access

Gullwing doors redefine how an enclosed front cabin can be best utilized to provide a more sociable feeling and encourage full interaction with one’s surroundings, making the front cabin feel like it's part of the outdoors.

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.

Moscow Oblast - Features

Moscow Oblast is located in the central part of the East European Plain, in the basin of the rivers of Volga, Oka, Klyazma, Moskva. The region stretches from north to south for 310 km, from west to east - 340 km. It was named after the city of Moscow, which however is not part of the region. Part of the administrative authorities of the region is located in Krasnogorsk.

On the territory of the Moscow region, there are 77 cities and towns, 19 of them have a population of more than 100 thousand people. The largest cities are Balashikha (518,300), Podolsk (309,600), Mytishchi (262,700), Khimky (256,300), Korolyov (225,300), Lubertsy (209,600), Krasnogorsk (174,900), Elektrostal (149,000), Odintsovo (138,900), Kolomna (136,800), Domodedovo (136,100).

The climate is temperate continental. Summers are warm, winters are moderately cold. The average temperature in January is minus 10 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19 degrees Celsius.

One of the most important features of the local economy is its proximity to Moscow. Some of the cities (Odintsovo, Krasnogorsk, Mytishchi) have become in fact the “sleeping districts” of Moscow. The region is in second place in terms of industrial production among the regions of Russia (after Moscow).

The leading industries are food processing, engineering, chemical, metallurgy, construction. Moscow oblast has one of the largest in Russia scientific and technological complexes. Handicrafts are well developed (Gzhel ceramics, Zhostov trays, Fedoskino lacquered miniatures, toy-making).

Moscow railway hub is the largest in Russia (11 radial directions, 2,700 km of railways, the density of railways is the highest in Russia). There are two large international airports - Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. Vnukovo airport is used for the flights within the country.
