Seller's Description
This is a well-equipped pocket cruiser that has been continuously updated and well-maintained. Her cutter rig is easy to sail single-handed and spacious enough to accommodate a crew. Her traditional lines, centerboard, an expansive cockpit (seats 9), and large living areas with 62″ headroom make her a perfect coastal cruiser! Island Packet IIs are known as BIG little boats, and she doesnt disappoint!
Her interior is well-lit, accented with mahogany trim with a teak and holly sole. She offers a v-berth and two quarter-berths comfortably sleeping four. She has a hanging storage locker, wet locker, and plenty of storage throughout.
Her galley includes a large ice box, a two-burner alcohol stove with a cutting board cover, and a fold-away counter extension. Her oversized leaf table reaches both settees. Her stainless steel sink is operated with a fresh-water foot pump. Her oversized head includes a solar ventilator and a fresh-water foot pump sink.
Her Yanmar 2GMF engine was recently inspected and tuned, fuel fittings cleaned and fuel hoses replaced. In 2021 she received a new exhaust elbow and fuel pump.
Her 12v electrical system was overhauled in 2015, winches have been rebuilt and her rigging was last inspected in 2018. Many more updates.
She has a custom Fairclough frame and canvas winter cover. This cover includes vents, a zippered door, and covers to the waterline.
Equipment: - Heavy Duty North Sails - main & genoa - Full-Battened Main with two reef points. Dutchman rigged for controlled flaking. - Roller Furling Genoa Garmin electronics: 7610 GPS, gWind Sail Pack, xHD18 Radar, VHF 300 with AIS in, auto fog horn, and many more extras.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

7.3 kn
Classic: 6.59 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.0
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
37.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
252.7
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
21.7
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
First called ISLAND PACKET MKII, an updated version of the ISLAND PACKET (ISLAND PACKET 26 MKI) which, in turn, derived from the BOMBAY EXPRESS 26.
A keel Centerboard version also produced.
Replaced with the ISLAND PACKET 27 in 1984, which was a major redesign.
