26' Islander 26

1977 Islander / Tradewinds 26 sloop for sale. Designed by Robert Perry and built by Islander, this sturdy sloop was purchased by a former neighbor and friend brand new in 1977, and only transferred to me following his passing. I took ownership in 2018 and have been not just keeping it steady but improving her as I attempted to learn to sail.
ONLY 16 OF THESE WERE BUILT!
I have extra main and jib sails, she has an electronic tiller available, and a custom wood manual tiller handle. Brand new sail cover and installed compass. She has a working marine radio and depth finder. A cassette stereo system new battery and in 2019 a new muffler added to the still very well working 15 HP inboard engine. All the lights work, and she did not even launch in 2020. There is a new porta pottie and I have built a new engine cover / stair step into the cabin from the galley. She is a very sturdy sailing vessel, and if you are a seasoned sailor, you may be able to handle her alone. She was in the water and can be taken for a test sail. (2021)
