1973 Islander Ketch Center Cockpit Motorsailer

Islander Yachts were built in Costa Mesa, California with offshore crusing in mind, and this particular boat is ready for all your long range plans. A TRUE BLUE WATER CRUISER.

Don't let the name "Flying Pig" throw you, she is anything, but. Her most recent haul out was in September 2003. No blisters reported. New zincs. Fresh bottom paint and new polyurethane paint on hull, the latter really enhances her overall appearance.

New 100hp Chrysler Nissen diesel engine. New genset. 6'4" headroom including the engine room. Good cruising sail inventory.

The master suite is aft, with a large double berth to port and a pilot berth and settee to starboard, the opera style windows on both port and starboard provide ample light and wonderful anchorage views. The ensuite master head is very large and has a usable shower and marine head with holding tank.

The spacious center cockpit, provides the helmsman with easy access to the navigation equipment and all lines. Access to the engine room is under the two large lazerettes and features stand up head room to the work shop to port and the generator to starboard, head room throughout is 6'4".

Entering the main salon into the pilot house, you descend two step to the raised salon featuring the convertible dinette to port and the galley to starboard. The pilot house provides good visability and is very bright and airy.

Forward and down one step is the guest or crew stateroom, which closes off completely for privacy. This stateroom has a private ensuite head, and a large utility closet for an abundance of storage.
