2000 Island Packet 40

Description

The Island Packet 40 quickly established itself as an industry benchmark for high quality cruising sailboats with its sparkling performance, superior safety and seakeeping capabilities, ease of handling and spacious and livable accommodations. The cutter rig, standard on every Island Packet, has long been recognized as the most versatile and manageable sail plan for offshore cruisers. Below the waterline the Island Packet 40 was one of the first models to be equipped with Island Packets’ Full Foil Keel®, providing lift in the same fashion as one would find on a fin keel, while providing the seakindly performance of a long keel. This feature brings numerous benefits to the cruising sailor: great protection from damage or fouling of the prop and rudder, a moderate draft with exceptional stability characteristics for shallow water gunkholing or worldwide cruising and winning performance capabilities. "TINTEÁN" was the last Island Packet 40 made and has spent most of her life on the Chesapeake Bay and New England, with a few voyages to Bahamas, so this is not a boat that has spent a lifetime in the Southern sun. The Island Packet 40 has earned its reputation, alongside the other Island Packet models, as a top-quality offshore cruising platform. If you are considering the cruising lifestyle and are looking for a strong, safe and comfortable yacht to do it on- whether gunkholing locally or voyaging to faraway destinations across the oceans of the world- you owe it to yourself to consider our offering.
