Thank you for the video. I’ve thought about getting a sailboat to live on part time, and I’d only do it if I could take my 8 yo lab. Really was a beautiful video.

My son has a islander 41 ft he says it's the best boat he's ever owned so it's not real fast with the full kill but it is smooth

hi! great video! very nice maneuvers! i'm also about to learn how to manage my boat, full keel as well, formosa 41 and i would like to know, based in your experience, if you feel a prop walk when backwards.. and in that case is it strong or very soft regarding the heavy and full keel you have? and curious and for a better understanding of your maneuver, what rotation direction your motor has? thanks a lot!

I know it's 3 years later, but if you permanently CLAMP the thermostat probe to the OUTSIDE of the freezer evaporator and adjust the temperature setting just one more time, your temperature won't fluctuate wildly every time you put food in it.

Good to see I am not the only one getting a high level of stress when approaching a Marina with my Island Packet 40. Especially when I have to dock stern to like you have to do everywhere in the Med.

OBTW, I ALWAYS cheat when I dock...the boat is controlled at the dock by the lines, not by the engine...have the lines at the ready, so you can step off with TWO lines in hand, boat in neutral and motionless with NO intertia going either way...I normally don't have a crew, so it's just me, myself, and I...and the two lines I have in hand...

I will never see tha attraction Americans have for IP's and full keels in general. If you wanted to make a boat slow and hard to sail you would make it heavy, beamy, shoal draught, full keel and short rig - and thats an IP. They sail like bricks.

I went with a friend and practiced approaching and docking to an end-tie dock, docking in a slip, and leaving a slip for a couple of hours on Friday. We rarely deal with much current or wind where we dock. I notice that you carry much more speed that I normally would. Is that due to the wind and current? Or, is that due to the handling of a full keel boat? We are normally on fin keel boats with unprotected rudders as we are on a lake.

I know this boat! My boat partner and I made a nine-month sail from Blaine, WA to Portland, ME from 2021-2022. We had the pleasure of meeting and sailing off and on with James and Tanya on our way to Mexico. Whenever we were anchored nearby, we looked forward to our invitations to come aboard Stella J. Our 40’ cutter was basic and reliable, but felt like camping. Stella J felt more like a home away from home. James and Tanya were the most meticulous and punctilious cruisers we met throughout our entire trip. We admired their “spare no expense” approach to quality and safety when it came to Stella J. I realize that all good things must end, clearing the way for life’s next adventure. I hope the next owners show Stella J the same love as she continues to provide safe adventures and life-long memories.

Year 1992 Make Island Packet Model 38 Class Cutter Length 38ft Fuel Type Diesel Hull Material Fiberglass Stella J is a perfect example of a fully equipped, turnkey, blue water cruising vessel. Island Packet yachts have long been recognized for their quality of yacht building and comfortable live aboard vessels. For the last 3 years she has sailed the San Juan Islands in Washington and headed south to Mexico (TIP good till 2031). The owners have continuously and meticulously maintained her while adding the luxuries many seek in a liveaboard sailing yacht. Over the last 5 years she has had well over $100,000 in upgrades. Stella J is a constant head turner, and you will be hard pressed to find a finer example of a 1992 Island packet 38. If you’ve ever been on an Island Packet, you know how spacious they can be. With no lack of storage, the high freeboard and deep bilge makes this IP38 feel more roomy than most 40 footers. The owners have documented their adventures with Stella J from the very beginning. Their KZbin channel Sv Stella J will take you up close into this wonderful yacht and show you the love and care she has received in her recent years of sailing. Check out some of their more popular videos with first impressions, walkthroughs, maintenance, and more.
