Island Packet 35 1990

Crafted by Island Packet Yachts under the design expertise of Bob Johnson, the Island Packet 35 is a full-keel cruising sailboat celebrated for its robust construction and smooth motion on the water. Ideal for everything from weekend coastal trips to serious offshore adventures, this boat provides the stability and comfort that have made Island Packet a trusted name among cruising enthusiasts for years. The IP35 boasts a full keel paired with an attached rudder, ensuring impressive tracking and directional stability along with predictable handling, even in challenging conditions. Rigged as a cutter, it offers versatile sail configurations, including a full genoa for lighter winds and a staysail-and-reefed-main setup for stronger breezes. Built from solid fiberglass and known for its overbuilt hulls, this vessel is ready for genuine bluewater sailing, rather than just pleasant day outings. The deep, sheltered cockpit keeps the crew secure while underway, and the wide side decks combined with sturdy handrails allow for safe movement fore and aft, even in rough seas. Designed for shorthanded sailing, the cockpit features easily accessible winches and lines. Below deck, you'll discover a surprisingly spacious and well-lit cabin adorned with teak joinery, comfortable seating, and smart storage solutions. The layout typically includes a private forward stateroom, an efficient galley ideal for long passages, a dedicated navigation station, and a head with a separate shower stall. Generous headroom and ventilation make this boat livable for extended cruising beyond mere day sails. Owners often commend the IP35 for its gentle motion offshore, avoiding the pounding and hobbyhorsing common to lighter, fin-keel boats. While it may not be the fastest in its class, it rewards patient sailors with reliable, comfortable journeys and minimal drama in challenging weather. This vessel is perfect for those who value seaworthiness, comfort, and long-term dependability over sheer speed. With a dedicated owner community, robust parts and service support, and a well-deserved reputation for safe exploration, the Island Packet 35 remains a wise choice for cruisers eager to discover new horizons.
