Journey II

Cutter Journey II

Solid and dependable cruising Island Packet style. Welcome aboard Journey II, an Island Packet 31 cutter rig. Her engine is in immaculate condition and all sails are ready to go to take you on your next journey.

Stepping onboard you will immediately see Bob Johnson’s successful design integration between cruising boat and catboat. She is wide and comfortable on decks and below but still is a cruising sailboat in her own right. She is easy to handle, and with the cutter rig you can depower and handle just about any weather. Journey II is meticulously cared for and is turn key ready for weekend crusing, long distance sailing, or living aboard.

Going forward on deck you will find ample maneuvering room. The decks are solid. The “Island Packet Bowsprit” is in great shape and carries two anchors with plenty of chain and rode. The genoa and staysail are both roller furling, with the staysail on a club.

The cockpit is spacious and secure. A complete enclosure is onboard, but the full dodger will also keep you dry. She is steered from all the way aft, and the steering quadrant is right under the seat. She has a belt-driven autopilot located in the cockpit. Navigation is handled by Raymarine systems at the helm. All sail handling is handled from the aft – no need to go forward.

Going below you see more of the Island Packet craftsmanship. To port is the u-shaped galley with a 2 burner propane stove and oven. A very deep ice chest is just aft and a two-tub stainless steel sink is forward.

To starboard is the navigation station with all electrical controls. A very generous size quarterberth is to the aft. This whole area can be quickly enclosed to create another private cabin.

Going forward is the main cabin with seating and storage to port and a fold up table and more seating to starboard. The very wide design of this vessel allows for tremendous space below.

Continuing forward on the starboard is the head and shower. Hot water comes from a 10 gallon tank that is heated either by the engine or by shore power.

All the way forward is the very wide v-berth with access to the chain locker. You will be amazed how much space there is in this forward cabin.

Island Packets are tough boats designed to meet the needs of cruising sailors in need of weekend get aways to long distant voyages. Give us a call to day, and see where Journey II can take you next.
