1979 Islander IP Peterson 40

Built in 1979, this Islander 40 was designed by Doug Peterson and represents his vision of a boat that balances racing capability with cruising comfort. The fiberglass hull and rig were engineered to perform well both under sail and in day-to-day use, whether for local racing or extended cruising.

The interior provides genuine living space across two cabins and a head, accommodating those who want to stay aboard for extended periods. The layout prioritizes both livability and access to the cockpit, typical of Peterson's approach to racer-cruiser design.

The boat is powered by a single diesel engine. The hull carries a beam of 11.83 feet, giving it stability and interior volume for a 40-foot design of its era.
