Long before I met her my wife owned 2 Islander 28s with Husband 1.0. They really liked the 28, then moved up to an Islander 36. After 2 years they bought another 28 which fit their needs and budget better. The second boat moved on during the divorce but the new owner eventually sailed it from Oregon round the Pacific to New Zealand and back home. Perry designed a beautiful boat that sails very well. Contratulations on an excellent move!
