1972 Islander 36 - Ready to Go!

Pacific Dawn is a meticulously maintained ‘72 Islander 36 with many high ticket generational repairs completed. She’s ready to cruise or race on the Puget Sound and beyond. I just went through the boat from keel to masthead to get her ready to sail home to San Francisco, but money and girlfriend's patience ran out, and I have to let her go.

I am the 3rd owner. Based on the records, all 3 of us in turn have loved and babied this boat and kept up with maintenance, kept work logs and receipts for all the work performed. I myself am an ABYC certified marine systems tech, diesel mechanic and electrician.
