Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I have to give up my plan to sail around the world and move to a shore based life again. Therefore I'm selling this terrific safe, robust and comfortable vessel which is extremly well equipped to a new owner for a very competitive price. I am from Switzerland and guarantee an honest, safe and trustworthy process.I bought this boat in March 2021 from the first owner who used this boat just lightly as a summer holiday vessel in the Mediterranean Sea. I refitted and upgraded the boat very extensively with the latest equipment and electronics available in order to sail around the world. Sailing mostly shorthanded, I spent 2 years in the Mediterranean Sea before crossing the Atlantic Ocean and sailing in the Caribbean Sea. As the boat is equipped now, she is really ready to go anywhere without further upgrades. With her fully electrical autarchy, her enormous water and diesel tanks, her huge storage capacity, her extensive list of new equipment and her excellent built quality, this is the perfect boat when you like to live on the boat and sail safely and comfortably longer distances offshore. Even in difficult conditions, the boat has always taken a lot of care for me and I always felt safe.The boat is especially well equipped with lots of the latest instruments and tools and is really ready to go whereever you like, either alone or with a partner or friends.Island Packets are known for their strong seakeeping abilities and high stability factor. Cutter rig setup enables her to be easily sailed over long distances even alone.
