Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

Love the Island Packet. They always seem to be better maintained too. One tip on these boat tours, don’t forget to take a shot of the transom. Most people want to see if it has rear access, swim platform, sugar scoop etc. (I know we can go look it up elsewhere but complete boat tours are super helpful.)
Absolutely the best layout I’ve seen in a 40’ and under sailing vessel !
Your videos are the best. I wish some of the brokers would use you to show their vessels...I really enjoy the way you do these walk-throughs.
I love it and I don't even know how to sail . It's a great looking boat.
This boat checks all the boxes for condition and design. Perfect for a couple with a kid or two. Thanks for the tour.
Another great video and this time, a boat that checks all the boxes for me. Love the layout, reputation and condition of this older boat. Nice job man!
Fantastic layout and gorgeous. Someone has really maintained it well
Certainly a very nice blue water boat, big enough for all the Collinets!
That is a great boat and looks well maintained. Thanks for finding her!
Nice looking boat that appears to be well taken care of. Out of all the makes and models of boats within this price range, I have never heard anyone say anything bad or negative about an Island Packet boat. Thanks for the great video.
Love my IP 38. You forgot the third large berth. Starboard settee pulls out to form a nice double berth
If you need crew for a passage, I'm in. An IP 38 is way more comfortable than what I'm used to moving! (usually J boats)
Beautiful boat. This is worth another look. Its such a beautiful boat
That is one huge 38!
Loving the videos! Thank you so much for including price. It’s be amazing if you’d remember to include the model year. Thanks again!
Living onboard what a great layout.Great on a reach safe boat I would like it it would heave too well.
I LOVE THIS BOAT!
Great boat abs layout for the size!
Beautiful boat!
Very nice one of the best I've seen
Nice sized will equipped Great video.
Love the Island Packets, this one is beautiful and a cruiser, they handle amazingly
This is probably the best cruising boat you have ever reviewed. I toured the Island Packet factory about ten years ago. Bob Johnson's son (Sorry, I do not recall his first name) gave me a personal tour and I was impressed by the organization and cleanliness of the shop. I got my start in the boat business back in 1982 selling Island Packets and Catalinas at Port Tack Sailboats in Lauderdale. I have always been impressed with the Island Packet. Each model is spacious, strong, attractive, functional, and well laid out. They are good for taller people too. Bob and his son are both well over 6' and it shows in the headroom of the Endeavors he designed and carries through on the Island Packets.
Island Packet boats have been named Cruising World "Boat of the Year" seven times. I think that is a record. Bob sold the company to Hake Yachts in 2016. I have heard various stories about what happened with the company after that but it is my understanding Island Packets are out of production but the Hake Seaward RK designs are still in limited production.
Still in production
😮😃Gorgeous!
Beautiful example 😍😍😍
Its built similar to my Erickson. Thanks for the video
beautiful, i like it
My dream boat, price is good and really well looked after, travelling internationally at the moment restricts me coming to see it.
Good video 👍. Nice boat 👍
I like the layout of this boat
Nice video,thanks
Jordan nice boat for sure I personally would sacrifice a bit of speed for that toughness thanks for the showing
There are a few 40s around FL at the same price point. IPs are solid. Wish they made a center cockpit or two around this size/price. If you have time there's a Bavaria Ocean 44 in Punta Gorda you might like.
I love this boat, fantastic layout and use of space for its size. And that's a great price too oh, I hope I can find the same when I'm ready to retire in a few years
Video was great. Love the way ypy sgow a boat ans then at the end sgow it again. Alot of boat for the money. I do tknow goe you do it wuth new baby. Thabknyou fro allbthe traveling you do for all of us
Making me sooo jealous !
If I was ready to buy, this boat would be at the top of my list.
Nice boat,
Like it!!
That is an incredibly nice boat. One of the few boats I wouldn't be inclined to change anything on.
There is a really nice island packet for sale up here that I really love. They are great boats.
Nice
Really, really beautiful boat.
The price sounds like a steal.
This to me is an almost perfect layout and use of space in the front of the vessel. I really dislike the V-Berths we see in so many forward cabins. This is perfect in that it uses the V for a head and gives you a nice pullman berth. Most boats instead try to make a head closer to the saloon making them smaller most times to give a little more room for the V-Berth configuration or a bigger head with a much smaller V-Berth. This is just a much better use of space IMHO. This is especially true in a boat like this one with an easy to use aft head for a day head...
was nice .
This Piglet is in pretty good shape, she is a 38, so she should trade around 25-35k. Current market 09-21. I do glass repair for SS Boat works,, they are good solid boats.
An IP in the mid 40s is my short-list. I want a boat that can go to Bermuda without hesitation.
Cargo ships lose containers all the time. Those containers often float just at or slightly under the surface. Sailing a fin keel boat out in the Atlantic, it's always in the back of your mind, "what if?" I am confident an Island Packet would sail on. A container is likely to tear the keel off a J boat. If you're wise, it's easier to relax on a full keel boat. People love their IPs on the docks.
I preferred the aft wet head over the forward, but, like you that nav station is a bit to get used to.
Sinks and head were all away from centerline except forward head. Galley looked small and hard to ventilate. Did like the sail plan even for a 38.
Love you're video's what yacht have you got now ?
love her, just a little bit longer n she b on the short list - Thanks
I am sure there is a backrest that fits the nav station.
Is there a reasonable spot for a combo washer/dryer? I would need one as I’ll be living aboard. For future maintenance and dockage fees, etc, the 38 is my #1 pick. In my budget the IP 38, 40, 42 are my first choice!
NICE BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IP makes a nice boat
i like the tours but if I hear "storage" again my head could explode. Cheers!
You really should get one for yourself. We have an IP35 with only one head and a larger galley. Works for us.
Nice boat. I would have liked to see those covered grab rails on deck. Teak? Stainless?
probably teak...thus the covers
@@timhardman4764 Probably, but it's Florida so if it sits, cover it! LOL
We have a IP35 and yes the cabin top rails are teak.
height? head clearance - sole to overhead? Thanks :)
Not bad.
nice boat, kinda pricey
that camera seems to be working out for you, what is that?
This is just a great layout. Personally, i would rather 1 head with a full showers, over 2 wet heads, but otherwise, this is just an amazing tight ship.
Did they repower with the Beta.?
I would say that’s a quarter berth rather than an aft cabin. It is a beautiful boat down below, but above decks not so attractive. Plus, be ready to spend a lot of money refurbishing the gel coat. If not kept in good condition, the oxidation on IPs is nothing short of ugly. I know. I’ve detailed them.
The 38 aft cabin is approximately the same size as the 35 we own. It is a cabin with standing headroom (I'm 6'2") plenty of storage, a bench seat and a very large berth in fact larger than a queen where it counts.
How much is this boat I like the layout
If you guys ever do buy a sailboat, you could expand your videos and maybe make enough money to live on. Just a thought.
This is the type of boat we want to see yall sailing the world on...
This or something even bigger and pirate'e
algorithm go BRRRR
Just watched this on capt Rick Moore’s channel they had lunch on one super cool boat at a reasonable price might be an option for me
Nice boat.... Seems like a reasonable price too.
If I only had the money! : - ( Also, I really wanted you to ring that bell! lol Obviously, I really liked this boat. Part of me is thinking, . . . Didn't Jordan and Desiree of Project Atticus see this boat? I guess not. As for me, I can only dream about having a boat like this and finding a sweetheart to sail with me - sometime in the future, maybe. Thanks for the tour Jordan! Scott W
Yeah, not sure why Project Atticus didn't go with an Island Packet. A few models would have suited them nicely, and would have cost them less $$$ too!
Encountered one with cracked chain plates. Owner claimed the factory told him they were 409 stainless, not what you want.
I believe they are a higher grade but due to the way they are attached, the grade is irrelevant. IP chain plates are integrated into fiberglass layup of the hull. Should the deck seal breakdown and leak, salt water builds around the plates and corrosion runs rampant due to the lack of oxygen. Many IP's from the late 80's and early 90's have had the plates replaced but not all. My boat had the plates replaced prior to our purchase.
@@montanadan2524 The owner told me the factory told him they were 409 stainless. As you know that series is magnetic. I had never heard of a 409, but looked it up and it is made. Yes, I know about corrosion (a reason that you razor loses it's edge) and crevice corrosion but I still maintain that a 300 series is a better choice, since they are less prone to rust and corrosion. Yes I also know about electro polishing which removes any iron that may be on the surface. If you can get your hands on a Ryerson, or Alro catalogue look the alloys up. The marine insurance guys want the chain plates replaced along with the standing rigging every 10 years anyway. (mine lasted for 20)
@@edshuttleworth1549 What make of boat do you own?
@@montanadan2524 Caliber 38 hull # 1 bought her used after the Boss said he was selling the company and not to worry, nothing would change. I have owned her for 23 years. By the way, I admire Island Packets. Well engineered boats, no boat is perfect. Every boat is a continuous improvement project. Is it not?
@@edshuttleworth1549 Ed, looks like you own a fine boat. I will investigate the SS grade upon my return, the plate that separated was saved as a bill souvenir. I did a few things last year but the vessel was highly maintained so mostly we concentrated on refining our self taught sailing skills.
what price?
The boat price is listed in drop down pane. Go to the title discrimination above where is says Learning the Lines, (all the way to the right) you’ll see a little arrow point pointing down, click on it. The drop down has more info. It’s posted there to list updated price changes. 👍👍👍
$129k
The engine looks suspiciously monochromatic. Like, old engine, sprayed red, including plug wires. Hmm...
Plug wires? Its a diesel lol.
Beautiful example of this boat. But not a fan. Don’t like the punishment of a bowsprit. Necessary because it’s the only way to get enough sail to move it. Bow sprit is a punishment because you little return for big negatives. Several feet of boat length that gives you no space below, no more waterline and it sticks out there just waiting to do damage in a marina as you swing that thing around. And it’s really hard to tell just where it is. Also many marinas will charge you for a 42 foot slip. You are not allowed to let it overhang the dock nor stick it out behind most slips. And yes, as a licensed captain I have cruised, delivered many bow sprinted boats. The other negative on this ‘wannabe’ cruiser is the tankage. Like so many manufacturers/ designers they are marketing to the eye not the brain. Lots of wonderful space but a what cost. Almost every locker has a tank or some equipment in it and despite that, only 57 gal of fuel. Pitiful. It will Join the ranks of boats with there decks lined with jugs! But indeed, a beautiful interior (except for the afterthought Nav station. Bottom line is that all boats are a set of compromises. The live aboard part is great. The blue water cruise part/. Eh. As usual, you guys did a great job of documenting the boat.
Great assessment. Thanks for the comment on tankage. “Blue water” gets thrown around a lot and your point is spot on.
so not a "true" Bluewater due to fuel capacity?
@@kevio6868 There are “true” blue water cruisers with NO ENGINE let alone poor fuel capacity but 95% of sailors don't want to cruise that way including me. Not sure how much cruising you have done but it is a fact that when cruising, not just daysailing, that unless you are in the tradewind routes, most cruisers motor nearly 50% of the time. and with a boat like this especially. What bothers me is that they are hard marketing this boat as it's main attribute is that it is a "real cruiser" well then why do they give it a "condo" interior with inadequate tankage and storage. the boat doen't have proper mechanical spaces because they have worked so hard to give it a "spacious" interior. And believe me it's not just Island Packet that's doing this but it IS Island Packet thats pushing what a great "cruiser" it is. others don't market this way. giving a boat a full keel and a bow sprit does not make it a great blue water cruiser. it does make it a bit tubby and a mediocre performer.
Now a bit of owner perspective. Tankage for both water and fuel are tucked away nicey mid ship under the cabin soul. On our 35 which is very similar to the 38 shown, has only one holding tank occupying space under one settee cushion area, the rest of the space under the seats and behind the backrest area are open for storage. We find the remaning storage space is more than the typical owner would need. Last summer, we lived aboard and rented space in a Great Lakes marina, they charge us for a 35 foot boat even know our dingy davits and tender probably increase our overall length to 42 feet. We use the marina as home base and stay there weekends, weekdays we cruise and mostly anchor out. We would like to anchor out all the time but we force ourselves into unknown marinas occasionally for maneuvering practice. IP's are true full keel vessels and ours like many others is without a bow thruster. With just a bit of forward momentum you can thead the eye of a needle in a decent blow but you only get one chance to do it gracefully, things can get interesting if a do over is required. As we are new to sailing as of last season, we try to do it as much as possible to refine our skills for our trip across the lakes and down the east coast. We do run the desiel more than we like and fuel consumption on our boat is around 1/2 gallon an hour at cruising speed so our 50 gallon tank got topped off a few times last season. Based on our current consumption, we have a range of at least 500 miles on the engine. I am not a fan of large bow spirits but it is a great platform for the two large anchors residing in the roller so I guess thats a plus.

Thanks Fred, I have zero experience sailing but very interested and I realize Um supposed to learn on a sunfish or some similar first. I really appreciate your reply. It sounds like you need several Gerry cans aboard these if you're sailing any substantial distance.
You tend to switch your video just when you get ready to enter the rear cabin, leave the video running as you walk through the boat. Don't switch frames so much, you cut out the good parts. Just let the video flow. I notice you do this in all your videos. Ps I love the show I just don't like the switching from frame to frame.
Where is the pretty one? Home with the baby?
Love Island Packets, just don't like the "pink ones"
Why are you wearing a mask when you are the only one there?
I'm not a sailor why have a plotting station when most have your phones. just asking
Because phones don't work if the land is beyond the horizon
Look at where you are going, look at the chart, look at the chart plotter. In that order, otherwise you will find your navigation errors, the hard way.😱🤣
No prudent sailor relies solely on one form of navigation.
Lovely boat. One of the things I liked was the table lifting up completely out of the way, which created such a nice open space in the salon. And I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm sure you'd rather include your wife, but I was glad you were alone for this one because her voice is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
I didn't realize she spoke, I just like looking at her.
It's not perfect enough, it needs thousands spent on it says all you yanks.
Why are you wearing a mask? You are all alone with no one around that we can see.
Wow. What's with the mask? That's really stupid.
It's respectful to not spew one's germs all over the inside of someone else's boat during a pandemic.
@@scottharriman9419 If I had covid, I wouldn't make the video.
@@davidweeks1997 Still not an excuse to infect others ..
I just wonder how you define stupid?
It's someone else's boat, and that someone else was probably on-site, and wearing a mask, too.
