This Island Packet 27 is a great day sailer and pocket cruiser with the ability to do well offshore if you're inclined. These sturdy and comfortable boats perform great with the proper sail configuration and cruise easily for an afternoon cocktail cruise. Truly the best of both worlds. The interior is clean and cozy and lots of upgrades. Of course she has been well maintained with important items like lifelines, standing rigging, fresh canvas and the 12-volt refrigerator will keep your drinks cold

  "Step aboard this 27-footer and there's no "bobbly" smallboat sensation. At 8,000 pounds she sits solid in the water. The Island Packet 27 displaces as much as 3,000 pounds more than rival auxiliaries of her size and averages about 1,500 pounds heavier than the boats available in her class in 1980. Her big-boat feel and heavyweight status come from the way she's built. Her long keel may set her apart from the crowd, but rugged construction is another Island Packet hallmark, and it all started here." ~ Practical Sailor
