Description

Designed by Robert H. Perry. His comments: "Originally, the design objective for the Islander Cruising 38 was to produce a moderate-size, offshore cruising yacht that could be sailed easily by two people and comfortably by one. In addition, it was designed for maximum comfort below featuring plenty of light, an airy feeling, spaciousness, and traditional styling. Obviously, we also concentrated on performance but the prime objective was to meet Islander's byline "performance, elegance, and comfort." The Islander Cruising 38 has made its mark in my office, however, by outperforming our expectations more than any other design we have developed-it is everything we intended AND FAST! in every area of performance, the Islander Cruising 38 surpassed our expectations and astonished a lot of other sailors."

An excellent family sailboat, cruiser and with very good entertaining facilities.

Accommodations and Layout

Stepping down below is a two level cabin. Immediately to port in the upper aft level is the well equipped U-shaped galley (see below). The dinette stretches forward from the galley and curves along the main bulkhead. It easily converts into a double berth or the table may be folded down and stored in the backside of the galley. The starboard side of the main cabin, upper level places the large aft quarter berth with its forward edge serving as a navigator's seat for the drop-leaf navigator' console. From this console going forward and down is another settee which also may serve as a berth. A slight step down takes you through the main bulkhead into the forward compartment with its centerpiece design being a pullman's berth with six foot, six inch berthing length. The berth is an elevated double. with drawers and storage under utilizing the main bulkhead for a headboard and the forward head compartment bulkhead for a footboard. The compartment provides folding louvered doors making a snug private space. Across from the berth to starboard are two large cedar-lined hanging lockers with a built-in, four drawer dresser between them. The forepeak is the head with shower and teak shower bench with its own electric sump pump. There is a pullman unit with stainless steel sink and storage below. Above is the medicine cabinet with mirror. The chain locker is forward and accessable from the head.

NOTE: All berths are six feet, six inches in length. All upholstery in the salon area was recently replaced with a pleasant eye appealing material (see photos).

Additional Comments

Safety Equipment: 1)Stainless steel bow and stern rails (pulpits) with double life lines and stanchions, 2)Manual whale gusher, 3)Rule automatic electric bilge pump. 4)Lifesling package, 5)Ample Type IV lifejackets, 6)Flares, etc.
  • THE TRANSOM GATE deserves particular attention-once you have spent some time on an Islander Cruising 38, you begin to wonder how you existed without a transom gate. It works perfectly for dinghy boarding, swimming, snorkling/diving, and as a boarding ramp in stern to mooring situations.

    The cockpit is very large and extremely comfortable. Despite the wide cabin trunk, the shape of the cockpit is such that visibility is simply not a problem because the "T" configuration allows the person at the helm to sit outboard far enough to comfortably see the luff of the genoa.

    1) There is cockpit table with four cup holder.

    2) Custom dodger.

    Exclusion: Salon rug, a long time family safekeep.

    LETS PREVIEW AND SEE IT ALL.
