Hull, Deck and Cockpit:ISLAND PACKET YACHTS (and the IP 420, of course) were produced to the standards to qualify for the European “CE” Rating: Category “A” – Ocean”. This is the highest level achievable and facilitates getting insurance for possible “offshore” voyaging as well.
Hull
The ISLAND PACKET 420 was produced with the Company’s proprietary “FULL FOIL KEEL” that provides enhanced directional stability, reduced draft, a reduced angle of heel and protection for the yacht’s underbody, the rudder and the drive train. The “cutaway” underbody’s spade rudder provides good control for the yacht and the reduced wetted
surface does reduce parasitic drag as well. The LIVIN 2’s bottom was stripped & expoxy barrier-coated in 2015.
