1978 Islander 36

The 1978 Islander 36 is a fiberglass sailing yacht known for strong performance and seaworthy design. This example features a shoal draft of 4 feet 9 inches and tall mast rig, suited to light winds and heavy conditions alike. The hull is solid fiberglass, and the boat is powered by a reliable Yanmar 40 hp diesel engine with only 685 hours of use and a three-blade prop.

Below deck, the interior combines elegant wood trim with a bright, comfortable cabin. The galley includes a CNG stove and oven. One cabin and one head provide modest overnight accommodation. Recent upgrades include polycarbonate saloon windows, new lifelines, and a full complement of new lines and sheets. The roller furling jib and mainsail are in good condition.

Canvas work is new throughout: bimini, dodger with connector, stackpack, and winch covers. A wooden floor dinghy with outboard is included with the yacht. The boat benefits from thoughtful maintenance and upgrades reflecting its age and continued use.
