2002 Island Packet 380

The Sunshine Odyssey is a 2002 Island Packet 380, a fiberglass cruising sailboat designed for offshore passages and extended voyages. She measures nearly 40 feet in length with a 13-foot beam and is powered by a single Yammer 4JH2BE diesel engine producing 56 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 7 knots and a maximum speed of 8 knots. The boat carries fuel reserves sufficient for a motoring range exceeding 1,000 miles and holds fresh water for a month at sea, enabling self-sufficient long-distance cruising.

The yacht is rigged as a cutter with a Genoa, staysail, and mainsail—all furling from the cockpit—plus an asymmetric spinnaker for varied wind conditions. This configuration supports efficient short-handed sailing; the boat has been used for single-handed crossings of the Gulf Stream. She features a Full Foil keel design that combines moderate draft for access to shallow cruising grounds with a highly effective airfoil shape for windward performance and seakeeping.

Recent upgrades reflect comprehensive maintenance and modernization. New bottom paint was applied in 2025. Sail inventory was renewed with a new mainsail in 2024 and a renewed Genoa, along with fresh Genoa and staysail running rigging. The electrical system was substantially upgraded in 2024 and 2025, including a new LiFePO4 300Ah house battery, a Victron 3000W Inverter-Charger, a Victron DC-to-DC Transformer, and a Balmar 100A alternator. Navigation systems include a new Standard Horizon GX2400GPS VHF radio with remote and an Iridium 9555 satellite phone. The boat also carries jacklines and a life raft.
