1987 Island Packet 27

The 1987 Island Packet 27 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built around stability and seaworthiness. At 27 feet with a 10.5-foot beam, it features a full-keel design and a Motion Comfort Ratio of 22.1, which contributes to a smooth ride in varied conditions. The boat is powered by a Yanmar 16-horsepower diesel engine and reaches a maximum speed of 6.3 knots.

Below deck, the single cabin includes one head and basic liveaboard amenities: a refrigerator/freezer and a thoughtfully laid-out interior. A dodger and bimini provide weather protection on deck, while dinghy davits are fitted for carrying a tender. The sail plan consists of a mainsail, 145% genoa with roller furling, 130% genoa, and an asymmetrical spinnaker.

The boat is equipped with navigation and communication electronics including Garmin chartplotter, Raymarine autopilot, Ritchie compass, and VHF radio. Solar charging allows independent power generation at anchor. A new battery charger and updated running rigging have been installed. The boat carries a Capsize Screening Formula of 2.10, reflecting its offshore-capable stability.
