For Sale: SLOOP ‘CARRIACOU ISLANDER’

This much admired Islander 30 Mk II was professionally extended by 3.0 ft aft as part of the previous owner’s preparation for a single-handed passage down the east coast of South America. The yacht has been sailed many hundreds of miles in its new format. The additional length has been found to improve performance while providing a useful lazarette and mounting for goal post equipment. In the present ownership the yacht has been sailed in fair weather among the Grenadine islands only. The policy has been one of continuous improvement and replacement, particularly between 2003 to the present day. It was last hauled out for anti-fouling in January 2010. The yacht is in commission and ready to go.

Exclusions & non-operational

'The yacht is shown with Bimini & Dodger which are not included in the sale owing to recently sustained wind damage. The framing for both is ashore. It may be salvageable and will be offered with the boat'.

At the time of preparing these details the solar panel was not putting out a charge and the windspeed instrument was not working. Both probably minor electrical faults.
