1030.0. "Island Packet 31 info" by HPSCAD::HOOPER () Wed Oct 26 1988 12:26

    I'm looking for information on the Island Packet 31. I've heard
    it provides spirited performance with a (semi)-full-keel. Has
    anybody out there sailed one or owned one?

    I BELIEVE THERE IS AN EARLIER NOTE WITH REPLIES, ON THIS SUBJECT.
    I HAVE NOT SAILED ONE BUT HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THEM FOR A FEW
    YEARS, AS WELL AS THE 27, FOR PRICE REASONS.  I THINK I HAVE AN
    OLD REVIEW OF THE ISLAND PACKET 27, THE COMPANY AND BOB JOHNSON
    THE PRESIDENT.  I'VE MET HIM ON RELATED BUSINESS.   HE SEEMS TO
    RUN A FIRST CLASS OPERATION.

    I own an Island Packet 38 and am in love with it!! A roomy cruiser
    and a level sailer with spirited performance. Although I have not raced mine, I know
    other IP skippers who have and have done well. A quality boat thru&thru
    and an excellent customer/factory service relationship.
    
    IP 31 owners who write to owners newletter I receive are quite
    satisfied. Really depends on your intended use.
