2004 Island Packet 420

The Island Packet 420 is the latest generation of Island Packet designs, and embodies a host of proven design and construction features that have evolved over years of boatbuilding experience and via feedback of thousands of owners. Representing a significant evolution from earlier models in this size range, the IP420 delivers the combination of seakeeping, safety, stability and speed coupled with the comfort, liveability, and value that makes Island Packet Yachts Americas Cruising Yacht Leader. The Island Packet 420 received the award for 'Best Full Size Cruiser' in the 2000 Boat of the Year competition as conducted by Cruising World magazine.

Hull, Deck and Cockpit:

ISLAND PACKET YACHTS (and the IP 420, of course) were produced to the standards to qualify for the European "CE" Rating: Category "A" - Ocean. This is the highest level achievable and facilitates getting insurance for possible "offshore" voyaging as well.

Hull:

The ISLAND PACKET 420 was produced with the Company's proprietary "FULL FOIL KEEL" that provides enhanced directional stability, reduced draft, a reduced angle of heel and protection for the yacht's underbody, the rudder and the drive train. The "cutaway" underbody's spade rudder provides good control for the yacht and the reduced wetted surface does reduce parasitic drag as well. The LIVIN 2's bottom was stripped and expoxy barrier-coated in 2015.
