Island Packet Cat 35 1998

Presenting the latest addition to the series, this is the final hull of the Packet Cat 35, a truly groundbreaking evolution of the traditional sailing catamaran. It showcases an innovative DeltaPod Bow, a partially submerged central deep V that actively manages pitch and wave action while sailing. Its impressive buoyancy significantly enhances both forward and diagonal stability, while the concave wake it creates increases bridgedeck clearance, effectively reducing wave impact between the hulls. Any residual wave action is contained beneath the elevated bridgedeck, resulting in a remarkably smooth experience in the central area. The expansive foredeck, broad side decks, inboard shrouds, and complete rail enclosure ensure safe and easy access throughout the deck. For an added touch of luxury and convenience, a generously sized, built-in padded lounge on the foredeck features a hinged backrest. The wrap-around cockpit is designed with a deluxe steering console, complete with a folding table and controls for the twin diesel engines, alongside a raised helm seat that offers the skipper an unobstructed view of the action. The main and jib sheets are strategically positioned for convenient singlehanded sail adjustment. The spacious 'tunnel' beneath the cockpit provides a sheltered 'garage' for a dinghy when not in use. Inside, the innovative and elegantly designed interior creates a sense of spaciousness and flow, ensuring comfort and style. The central cabin features a settee that effortlessly converts into a double berth with a simple pullout extension. Abundant natural light and ventilation come from five overhead hatches, wraparound deckhouse windows, and a galley serve-through window. The open U-shaped layout in the aft main cabin allows easy access to both the salon and cockpit while remaining out of main traffic. The complete galley is ideal for both liveaboard lifestyles and short getaways. A louvered sliding door provides privacy for the starboard master suite, which boasts excellent natural lighting and ventilation with two overhead hatches and four opening ports. The port-side stateroom mirrors this setup, with the addition of a privacy bulkhead and door near the salon steps. The design includes walk-through doors at the backs of the tub-shower stalls, granting easy access to the engines, steering, and equipment spaces. Engine beds feature molded designs with integral drip pans, along with meticulous attention to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing aspects, creating an attractive and reliable area. Enhanced sound reduction features elevate on-board comfort, while overhead lighting ensures a well-lit environment. The Packet Cat 35 offers lively sailing performance with a low heel angle regardless of wind conditions, allowing for easy tacking even in lighter breezes. Its efficient foil section keels, arc-bottom hull shapes, and the DeltaPod Bow deliver outstanding tracking and seakeeping, while dual elliptical rudders provide precise steering control and responsiveness. The sloop sail plan, which includes a roller-furling, fully-battened mainsail and genoa as standard, strikes an excellent balance between simplicity and performance. Constructed from solid biaxial roving, with an internal stringer and grid system, the hull laminate meets or exceeds rigorous ABS structural standards. This robust design offers superior impact and puncture resistance compared to conventional construction methods, while remaining lightweight and ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. Molded keels and skeg-mounted rudders support beaching activities, and foam-filled, watertight chambers provide additional flotation for peace of mind in offshore conditions. The deck laminates are engineered for optimal strength and reduced weight, incorporating Island Packet's exclusive PolyCore system.
