The Island Packet 350 was the penultimate mid-thirty foot design from this storied builder, and continued IP’s "next generation" of their hallmark hull, rudder and keel configuration. But the 350 added a swim platform, an athwartship aft cabin, improved sail handling equipment with the new (at the time) Hoyt Staysail Boom, and even replaced a lot of the exterior cockpit and cabintop teak with easier to maintain stainless steel. The 350 is one of IP’s nicest sailing models and you can see and feel that in this safe, comfortable, and luxurious yacht. She handles and performs extremely well. MAKAHA is a fine, and experienced example of this popular model, having completed a near-solo circumnavigation, and has been well maintained including having the holding tank replaced and the engine rebuilt. She plays a central role in the book Around the World in Six Years, written by her first owner, Mr. Henry Holt.
