  • Try to keep up as we bounce around from boat to boat! Hey life is all about trying things until they fit! We sold our Catalina 34 after only having her for a year. We felt she was too much boat for the size of the lake we are sailing on. So we downsized to a boat that still checked all the boxes! Heater, stove, easy to work on and sail. We really only cruise for a few days at a time, so until we decide to move to the cost and find a livaboard, this is our new boat! Islander 28, Hope you enjoy. Leave a comment below if you are looking at an Islander or have ever owned one! Cheers!

    That’s the cleanest Islander 28 I’ve seen yet, beautiful!

      Thanks! We got very lucky finding her! Do you have an islander?

      @@thelostcompass I’ve looked at a lot of Islander 28,32, and 36’s over the years online and haven’t seen any as clean as yours.

    Nice table design. The I28 is on top of my list for my next boat. Thanks for the tour.

    Nooo we barely saw the C34 in action! But totally understand your reasoning. The Islander looks to be clean and in great condition especially the canvas. Great video quality of the tour too. Looking forward to seeing some sailing videos of the Islander in action!

      I know! But yes, this was a smarter move for us right now. We’re looking forward to putting a few videos out with sailing the Islander! Thanks for watching!

    I have a 76 model with the original Volvo md6a. These are very capable in all weather conditions. I have a canvas full enclosure that makes the boat usable April-November on Lake Superior

      Excellent! We love ours so far! Do you also have a heater? That has been a game changer for extending our season. Thanks for watching!

      She checks all the boxes… not the fastest boat if you’re racing but holds strong in a stiff breeze!

    Nice, I have a 81 Bahama 28! If you have an idea where the dodger was made? Cheers

    • @thelostcompass

      I think this dodger was made by a guy up here in the North West, I don’t recall who exactly it was😬…
