2020 Island Packet 349

The Island Packet 349 is a 38-foot fiberglass cruising sailyacht built in 2020, combining traditional design with modern sailing features. The boat carries a Yanmar 45 hp diesel engine and reaches a cruising speed of 7 knots. The yacht is rigged with a Solent-style configuration: a fully battened mainsail with Battcar system and lazy jack, paired with a working jib on Harken furling and a self-tending Hoyt Boom. A reacher or asymmetrical sail is available for light air performance. All sheets lead to primary cockpit winches for single-handed operation.

Below deck, the 349 offers two cabins and one head in a sapele wood interior. The cockpit features an upgraded hard dodger and fully enclosed Iverson design for weather protection. The layout provides comfortable accommodations for extended cruising, with sufficient headroom and storage for an offshore voyaging yacht of this size.

The boat features a stack pack mainsail cover and lazy jack system for simplified sail handling. The low-friction Battcar allows smooth reefing and sail shape control. Rigging has been arranged for short-handed convenience, with all primary controls accessible from the helm.
