Description
**Proven Bluewater Cruiser — Full Keel — Cutter Rig**
The Island Packet 32 is a cruising sailboat that has earned its reputation through thousands of miles under sail and a loyal following among serious cruising sailors. Designed by Bob Johnson, the IP32 combines traditional cruising virtues with a comfortable and practical interior, making her well suited to extended coastal cruising, the Great Lakes, or offshore passagemaking.
*Willa* is a 1990 model with a solid maintenance history, a recently rebuilt diesel engine, and modern upgrades to improve comfort, safety, and situational awareness at sea. Notably for an Island Packet, she has spent nearly her entire life on the Great Lakes — with the exception of one sailing season in coastal North Carolina and another in the Bahamas.
**Rig & Deck**
*Willa’s* cutter rig affords versatile sail-handling options across a wide range of conditions and is easily managed without a large crew. Her moderate-draft full keel, protected propeller, and skeg-hung rudder inspire confidence in unfamiliar waters or difficult conditions.
Three Kyocera solar panels deliver 555 watts of total power via a custom structure, providing meaningful off-grid capability. Kato dinghy davits at the stern provide a dedicated home for your tender.
**Below Decks**
Down below, *Willa* is warm and inviting with newer upholstery and matching curtains, upgraded lighting, and well-maintained hand-rubbed teak joinery throughout. Entertainment options include a multi-zone Fusion stereo, a mounted LCD television, and a Blu-Ray/DVD player. A Sea-Frost refrigerator and freezer with separate compartments keeps provisions organized and fresh.
