2024 Tartan Caraluna 245

The Island Packet 350 quickly became one of Island Packet’s most popular models, nestling in the size range big enough for offshore voyaging yet small enough for manageable cruising. Following designer Bob Johnson’s formula of a full keel cruiser with modern construction, it provides ample comfort for two with plenty of room for the occasional guests. The renowned Island Packet construction provides peace of mind few other production boats can.

Legacy is a lightly used and well-cared-for example of the IP350. She is ready to go with furling on both headsails and the mainsail, sturdy davits and two sources of cabin heat.

• Furling Main

• Espar Heat

• Cruiseair air conditioning/reverse cycle heat

• Water heater (2021)

• Ultraleather upholstery

• Iverson dodger and bimini

The Island Packet 350’s interior certainly belies its 35’ length. Pullman style double berths are fore and aft, each providing plenty of privacy and personal storage. The main salon features a fold-down table, which gives the area a very open feel when the table is folded away, yet provides room for 6 diners when down.

The head is forward to starboard and features a shower area with a seat instead of a full shower stall, making the best use of limited space. There are two doors: one leading to the forward cabin and one to the main cabin.

The galley is amazingly spacious for this sized vessel. A fold-up counter extension adds to the food preparation area. There’s a deep two-compartment refrigerator/freezer and a propane stove and oven. There’s also a built-in microwave.

A full chart table to port uses the aft end of the settee as its seat. Instruments, electrical panels and communications electronics are located here.

Island Packets have rightfully earned the reputation of having tough construction. In fact, the construction is CE Category A (unlimited offshore use) certified for Europe. A solid FRP hull laminate feature vinylester resin on the outer layers and polyester on the inner layers. The deck is cored with Island Packet’s Polycore foam. The chainplates come to the hull sides where there is massive strengthening, tying into a fiberglass grid. Combined with the full keel, encased ballast design, the hull and deck present a formidable structure.
