Our vessel is a 1994 Island Packet 35. Normally, this boat would’ve been out of our budget, but we were lucky in that Hope had been stored on the hard in Indiantown, Florida for a few years, so she needed a little TLC. While she was in good overall shape, she was also missing some components, so we were able to buy Hope within budget. See our story about how we decided on the right sailboat for us.
