1996 Island Packet 45

This boat is ready for offshore cruising. The mainsail is fully battened with an on deck stack-pack storage system. The mast is keel stepped with double spreaders. The cutter rig has two forward sails, the staysail and the large genoa, which allows for versatile sail configurations. The cutter rig has furling systems on both the genoa and self-tending staysail. Three manageable sails allow a small crew to set a variety of well-balanced combinations for comfort, safety and performance over a wide range of wind and sea conditions. The generous sail plan, coupled with the easily driven, long waterline hull form, assures excellent light-air performance. All necessary control lines lead aft to allow routine sail handling from the comfort and security of the cockpit.
