The Island Packet 40 has earned an outstanding reputation as one of the world's premier bluewater cruising yachts. Designed by Bob Johnson, she combines exceptional offshore capability, robust construction, and a warm, spacious interior that has made the model a favourite among serious passagemakers and liveaboard cruisers alike.
Second Spray is an exceptionally well-cared-for example that has spent much of her life cruising the Caribbean under experienced owners. She has benefited from continuous maintenance throughout the years resulting in a yacht that is ready to continue her next adventure.
The Island Packet's trademark full keel, cutter rig, and secure cockpit brings reassurance in blue water conditions. All sail controls are led aft, making her easy to manage short-handed or single-handed, while her forgiving sailing characteristics provide a comfortable ride offshore without sacrificing performance.
Below deck, the rich teak interior creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious saloon, generous galley, and comfortable accommodation make extended cruising a pleasure. The forward owner's cabin features an ensuite head, while the aft head offers additional convenience. Excellent engine access through multiple hatches makes routine servicing straightforwardan important feature for serious cruisers.
Mechanically, Second Spray has been maintained to an exceptionally high standard throughout her life. The Yanmar diesel starts immidiatly, has received regular oil and filter changes without exception, and the engine compartment has been kept meticulously clean, allowing any maintenance issues to be identified immediately. An inventory of spare parts remains aboard, reflecting the careful ownership and offshore preparation that this yacht has always enjoyed.
Currently lying in the Dominican Republic's Puerto Baha Marina, Second Spray is well positioned for Caribbean cruising. |
