29′ Islander

The 29′ Islander is a fast affordable sailing catamaran with accommodation for four friends (what, you’re going to take enemies with you!). The principal of this design has been to keep it simple to build and sail.

If you take everything off it for racing it will be very quick. Yet it has enough displacement to cruise with 4 people for a week or so to get away from civilization!

Built from a pre-cut Duflex kit using simple female mould frames (also supplied pre-cut) we don’t bother with jigs like every one else. It probably doesn’t get easier than this.
