This boat is exceptionally spacious and its sailing performance is
outstanding.
The fixed keel draft is only 3.8 inches.
It is a perfect
sail boat for Florida.
It has the feel of a much larger yacht.
The
wide and deep cockpit seats 8 in comfort.
It has wheel steering
which is rack & pinion unmatched for its positive feel and
reliability.
The boat has double lifelines.
All lifelines have a quick
release hook for convenient side entry.
The engine is a 1995
Yanmar 2GM - 20F in board diesel with 18 horsepower.
It only
has 900 hours on it with a three-blade bronze prop and direct
drive.
It is a cutter with a main, stay- sail and furling Jenny.
The
stay- sail is self-tacking.
I have owned many boats, and I can
honestly say that this is the first sailboat Ive owned where you
can leave the wheel and the boat will track itself beautifully.
It is
in very good condition except the outside wood needs some work.
We have had no problems with the boat.
We have a diver that
cleans the bottom every three weeks.
The only reason that I am
selling is that my vision and balance are very poor.
I am afraid
that my wife is going to get hurt since I no longer have confidence
in my ability to help her if we get in trouble on the water.
Sadly, I
have turned into ballast on a boat because of my poor vision and
equally poor balance.
It is a beautiful boat, perfect for Florida
waters because of its draft of only three point 8 inches and the
cutter rig makes it extremely easy to sell.
If you know anything
about Island Packets you know that they are the Rolls Royces of
the water.

Take advantage of
my inability to handle a sailboat and come and look at it.
