Description: |
Dismasted in a storm in August 2022 (prior to Hurricane Ian), damage limited to the mast, roller furler, and one chain plate. Mast replaced along with virtually new oversized standing and running rigging; roller furler replaced with upgraded Pro Furl; all side chain plates replaced.
Island Packet is noted for its quality and robust construction. The generous beam is carried forward resulting in an amazingly roomy boat for its size. The hull and decks are in very good condition.
The cockpit is large with wheel steering, self-tailing primary winches, table, shower, spacious lazarettes, bimini, and cushions. Four hatches, eight opening ports provide excellent ventilation. Full galley, two cabins, settee berths, generous head, large v-berth, great storage. Island Packets are a delight to sail and well suited to the cruising life. Modest draft great for Florida/IC/Bahamas. |
