One converts to a double berth and the other can be utilized as a single berth. The salon table folds down from the forward athwart-ships bulkhead. Forward on the port side is the head with vanity, shower and composting toilet. The forward cabin has a V-berth with filler, storage drawers under and hanging locker. The classic teak and holly cabin sole and fine teak joinery along with plenty of light and ventilation provided by several opening hatches and ports makes the interior feel warm and inviting.

Brokers Comments

Festina Lente features the optional cutter rig, and is ready to head to the islands. This Island Packet is powered by a very economical and reliable 27HP Yanmar with only 1285 hours.  She has spent much of her life in California and the North East, has been lightly used, and is in excellent condition!

If you are in the market for a cruising sailboat you will be truly impressed with the amount of volume this 29' pocket cruiser offers.  With almost an 11' beam, and 6' 4" headroom she is very roomy below.  Her cockpit is massive, even when compared to many 32-34' boats.    

The Island Packet build quality is far above the competition.  This boat can take you anywhere!
