Has anyone out there had experience with the Island Packet 27?
We are considering buying one and would appreciate hearing of
an experience that you may have had or have heard. It looks
great in the show room and we will have a chance to sail one before
putting down the money, but ....

| 600.1 | USED PACKET FOR SALE | AIMHI::STOWELL | Wed Jul 22 1987 10:18 | 12 | |
I KNOW WHERE THERE IS A USED 27 FOR SALE. IT IS FULLY EQUIPPED,
AND A LOT LESS THAN A NEW BOAT. I HAVE BEEN ON THE 27, AND
IF YOUR INTO CRUISING I GUESS YOU CAN'T FIND A BETTER BUILT 27
FOR CRUISING. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE SLOW, HOWEVER,
A GOOD BOAT IN STIFF WINDS.
GOOD LUCK,

| 600.2 | An experience on a IP 31 | DSSDEV::RUDY | Tue Jul 28 1987 13:21 | 5 | |
I sailed an Island Packet 31 which is a similar design. It
was a moderated breeze about 10 knots. My impression was the boat
was fairly stiff but relatively slow. Under these conditions the
tacking angles were no better then 90 degress.

Are these Island boats the same as the Islands that were on display
at the sailboat show? There was an Island 19 at about 2/3 the price
of an O'Day 19, and I wonder if anyone has any general impressions
about the make.
