Drummer has cruised extensively in the South Pacific Islands and voyaged from Ventura to Hawaii a number of times. She was once owned by American cartoonist Pappy Lemmons who humorously documented his travels with his family aboard "Drummer" in the Pitcairn Islands in 1978 for Skipper magazine. Designed by J.H McGlasson, Wayfarer became part of Islander Yachts and the Wayfarer 33 was a raised deck version of the first Islander 32.
Drummer has a Yanmar diesel, radar and solar panels; fresh bottom paint, new through hulls and new running rigging, and more, see full specs for more details of extras and upgrades. Mast steps and shroud steps are useful features for ease of rigging servicing and the wide open decks afford lots of working space. The cockpit is deep, and safe.
A great boat for beginners or seasoned sailors alike, whether for weekends on Catalina or further afield. Be ready for the upcoming summer season with your new boat!
