Island Packet 37 1997

Introducing Sugaree, an Island Packet 37 - ***Initial Listing, Stay Tuned for More Photos*** Vessel Overview: The Island Packet 37 made its debut in 1995 as the next generation of the acclaimed IP35, featuring an entirely new hull, deck, and interior design while maintaining Island Packet's reputation for offshore performance and cruising comfort. A significant improvement in design is the relocation of the rack-and-pinion steering system from beneath the helm seat to beneath the binnacle, which enhances cockpit movement and ergonomics by eliminating the exposed steering shaft. Sugaree comes with thoughtful upgrades from her first owner, including a Charleston Spars in-mast furling mainsail system, 350-style stern rail seats, and various enhancements for convenience and handling. Her current owners have cruised her to the Bahamas and have consistently maintained and upgraded her. Sugaree is a well-equipped and cherished Island Packet 37 that embodies the pedigree and capabilities the brand is recognized for. She truly stands out among IP37s and deserves a closer look. Hull & Deck Build and Related Equipment: Island Packet yachts are celebrated for their sturdy construction. The IP37 features a solid fiberglass hull, a synthetic core deck, an integral bowsprit, a full-foil keel, and a protected spade rudder, offering a modern cruising underbody that balances stability, tracking, and performance. The hull is wider and has a slightly flatter shape compared to earlier models, resulting in increased interior space and a more lively sailing experience. Island Packets have received numerous awards for offshore cruising, yet they are best known as luxuriously safe and comfortable cruisers, perfectly suited for exploring local gunkholes or embarking on long-distance adventures. Hull & Deck Features Include: Custom swim platform, all opening ports with screens, no fixed ports, all opening hatches, Simpson Lawrence electric anchor windlass, 45 lb CQR anchor with 200' chain, Danforth anchor with 20' chain and 100' 3-strand nylon rode, teak protective strips on the bowsprit, dodger with canvas awning attachment, dodger Eisenglass covers, and Kato dinghy davits. Sails and Related Equipment: Sugaree features the modern Island Packet cutter rig renowned for its balanced sail plan and versatility. She is equipped with a 2022 Quantum 135% Genoa and a 2022 Quantum Staysail, both on Harken roller furlers with lines led back to the cockpit for easy handling. The previous owner enhanced the mainsail system with a Charleston Spars in-mast furling system, enabling true single-handed sailing.
