1969 Islander 55 Ketch REDUCED TO SELL!!!!
She’s been called the most beautiful boat in the anchorage on many occasions.
She’s just been reduced in price as the owners want to move to other adventures. Their price cut is your lucky chance as she is worth every bit of asking price!
This sleek classic, designed by Bruce King at the height of his career, built by Islander Yachts in California is easily driven by the wind and is a joy to sail.
Fitted with brand name hydraulic roller furling units on the jib, main and mizzen sails, combined with electric winches, allows for single handed sailing and will entice owners to cruise for many years.
RENACIENTE is an elegant yacht with a solid pedigree. Sister ships were owned by the Beach Boys, and Ted Kennedy who sailed his successfully in many races.
This comfortable yacht has been professionally maintained and constantly upgraded. Regularly sailed in the San Blas Islands of Panama it can be viewed at the full service yard of Shelter Bay Marina. She is offered in sail away condition for your enjoyment.
Please email for a link to dropbox for more photos and a Youtube video walk thru feature.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Only a few were built by Islander/Wayfarer. It is believed that the molds for the hull were sold to Tradewinds Yachts which built at least three cruising versions as the TRADEWINDS 55.
A kit version was sold as the YACHTCRAFT 55.
