The IP40's hull design offers exceptional stability characteristics for worldwide voyaging or shallow water gunkholing. Learn more by reviewing the specifications.
This 1998 Island Packet featuring in-mast furling makes life more safe and easier for cruisers with quick and easy, unlimited mainsail reefing points. Harken furled 135 genoa and the cutter rig staysail gives boundless flexibility for any conditions. Add her features like air conditioning, full screen enclosure, fully integrated electronics, custom mattresses and much more, and you have an ideal cruising yacht!

Additional details

ACCOMMODATIONS
While onboard, 80% of the time is spent in the cockpit. In the IP 40's 8-foot cockpit the helmsman's seat is raised, with back support, and affords a good view; the Edson steering gives good feedback to the helmsman. A shallow storage bin is under the port-side seating, and the starboard cockpit seat lifts to reveal a huge locker below. The table folds down and is compact enough to keep the cockpit open.
Below, the saloon feels like that of a much larger boat due to the table that folds up and away. Forward, the master cabin has a queen berth (Lewmar hatch screen in forward berth (2020) and its own head. Aft is a cabin with little headroom over the berth but ample standing headroom with a large dressing area next to the bunk . A second head is accessible from the saloon and from the aft cabin.
The U-shaped galley is well organized and large for a 40' boat and the fine joinery/craftmanship in the interior woodwork is typical of all Island Packet cruisers. 
Centered between the galley and the aft cabin is the companionway with the engine room located under the steps. The engine is accessed on the port and starboard sides and by an access panel at the front. Removing the aft cabin cushions, provides access to the entire drivetrain. GALLEY
