Island Packet Motor Sailor

[Dyflin]

I noticed the fancy ad on the back of PBO for the new Island Packet motor sailor. I have been onboard a couple of Island Packet yachts and they are very nice boats, extremely expensive, but nice all the same.

With red diesel going the way it will, is this an attempt by Island Packet to lure mobo'ers away from "the dark side" or just bad timing for the fuel/cost aware buyers?

Why stop there?

I think they should offer a flybridge option as well /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Clearly the concept of relating a hull's height to the overall length does not apply.

Have you considered or looked over an LM? Lovely boats with a proper wheel house and they sail well.

Very much tongue in cheek! As a confirmed raggie for so many years, I find it hard to reconcile my complete lust for a Botnia Targa. One day, maybe, when I'm even older and greyer. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: It\'s been done!

I can't get any greyer and might not get much older - so that's why we bought one /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
