I'm sure many traditional sailors won't like this style of boat, BUT, she looks highly practical, safe and a better way to go places than motoring alone. Looks like a well executed good concept of a motorsailor.
@hydrogeoon - We agree 100%. We do not propose that a person buy a boat from a video. That would be ridiculous. Our videos are intended to show a boat beyond static pictures. And if someone is sufficiently interested, they should then make their way to an Island Packet dealer to inspect one in person. Keep in mind this boat was designed for a purpose, and it does that rather well. I have spoken with quite a few SP Cruiser owners, and they are very happy.
Hope to own one o e day the perfect Bahamas boatlike the draft also I. The ice the mass could be a little shorted to the water in the 50 ft range.knowong it would slow it down some what.....but I do like smelling the roses
This boats you should see in reality, do not judge it just from a video. It doersn't do right, simply because Bob Johnson is able to play magic with interior room and exterior looks. Realy, reality is suprising!!

Is there an emergency sheet release if the boat is caught in a knock down wind?
+pepsi leonardo Yes there is. Its called a marlin spike knife blade.
Know noisy is the diesel in the cabin? How fast just under power? 8 knots?
