44' Island Packet 420

Lastochka is a 2000 Island Packet 420 hull #2 built to be presented at the Annapolis Boat Show and entered into the Cruising World Magazine Best Cruising Yacht competition which she won, BTW. Purchased in 2017 and constantly upgraded with a goal to circumnavigate. No expenses spared. This is not a project boat forgotten in some dusty boat yard and she is not a marina queen where half of the systems wont survive the 1st month of cruising. This is a real deal 100% ready to go (the departure date was set for the fall of 2025). The boat is set up for serious sailing in serious oceans. Life forced change in plans. Thus, the boat is for sale.
