They have cruised her far and wide and have said their adventures were enhanced by their yacht quality and responsive sailing characteristics. She is now in Annapolis and ready for her next owners adventures! She is a head turner and aggressively priced to sell! Sellers may entertain smaller sailboat trades that are shallow draft and very well maintained.   Owner Comments: In looking for a boat that we would live on for a period of time after retiring and selling our house in 2005, we began our search for a larger Catalina as our previous three boats were Catalinas, a popular and affordable boat.  However, we recalled that during our attendance of the Annapolis Boat Shows each fall, we always went back to the new Island Packets and admired the looks and features of that brand.  We even decided to charter two different IP’s in the Virgin Islands and enjoyed sailing them while others chose the more popular production models that were available from other charter companies.  We felt more comfortable with a heavier boat and one that had the cruising features already.  The addition of the wind generator was the only addition necessary to provide adequate battery charging abilities.  In rough seas we both felt safer and more comfortable and the boat provided more than enough space for storage and accomodations when we had guests on board.  I can’t count the number of complements we received regarding the color and style of the boat especially from those who were too used to the beige hull of other Island Packets!   Boat Name Slow Dancing Dimensions LOA: 44 ft 0 in Beam: 13 ft 0 in LWL: 37 ft 0 in Maximum Draft: 5 ft 7 in Displacement: 27500 lbs Ballast: 12500 lbs Bridge Clearance: 58 ft 6 in Engines Engine Brand: Yanmar Engine(s) Total Power: 62 HP Engine Model: 4JH2-TE Engine Hours: 2488 Tanks Fresh Water Tanks: (195 Gallons) Fuel Tanks: (100 Gallons) Holding Tanks: (30 Gallons) Outside Equipment/Extras Electric windlass Accommodations The owners’ cabin is forward and features a large double berth, ample storage and a convenient vanity area.
