Why
are we selling? We are looking at moving up to a larger
Island Packet Yacht to allow for more extended voyages. We want to
sail to Bermuda, BLock Island and the Bahamas!
Special Note: The
photos show our Kato Island Davits, and an Avon 2.81 dinghy. These
items are not
included in the sale. I originally bought the larger Kato davits
with the plans of taking these to the our next Island Packet. So please
disregard the davits and the dinghy.
Number of Owners:
We are the second owners of Cinnamon. The original owner was
John Funston who moved up to a 36 foot Ericson. We bought her in
December 1991 from this same broker, Michele Martinage. At that time
Cinnamon had brown canvas, brown boot
stripe and brown interior, standard for Island Packets of that
time. She also had 6 layers of Interlux epoxy barrier coat to
protect her hull. Cinnamon's bottom is in perfect condition and
her bottom paint has never had a problem with adhesion. When she
is hauled, every year, and power washed, she looks like she has just
been painted. We have hauled her every year, and have covered her
every year. She has a custom captains navy blue full cover.
We are very proud of her condition.

This was the weekend of 10/22/2000. A wonderful sail across the
Chesapeake Bay. Top speed reached 6.1 and we were sailing across
the current. (See GPS photo)
Check the flag to see the angle of the wind. Cinnamon sails great
with a reef.
Full Genoa 135%, Jib car in full aft position to twist off the top
of the headsail and de-power the sail. Wind is blowing 10-12Knts.
Sailing with a reefed full battened mainsail, check the flow of the
tell tails and the shape of the main. I could have taken in more on the
red reefing line, since we were a bit overpowered.
GPS show speed of 6.1 Knts.! I am always impressed how well
this boat sails with a reefed main. I am never sorry that I tucked
in a reef. Less heal is always faster.
This
is 6.1 knts. true boat speed, note motor sailing, but sailing close
hauled with a reefed mainsail in 10-12 knts. of wind. The 27 sails
great.

Boot Stripe Work:
My biggest pet peeve with IP yachts is that the water lines are TOO
LOW! These are cruising yachts and everyone loads the yacht
for cruising. Island Packets sit low in the water even when they
are NOT loaded. Now add gear and the boat will be below her
factory painted lines.
We have spent the past two seasons
working with the painters to paint our water line so that 4 inches of
bottom paint is exposed. This keeps the beige stripe out of the
water and gives a cleaner look. Our boot stripe has been repainted
with Awlgrip by Rick's Marine Services of Rock Hall, MD. With use of a
laser transit our water line is now LEVEL, and straight AND out of the
water! I must say, Cinnamon's water line is right!
The process of getting
the waterline RIGHT! |
Bottom Paint &
Before raised boot stripe. Follow stripe to the left and see how
it was under water! |
Same problem on
Starboard as well. This was after paint job #1. 1999 |
Stripe was raised to
allow 4 " of bottom paint to be out of the water. |

Bottom Work:
In 1989, Cinnamon had 6 layers of epoxy barrier paint applied to
protect her bottom. She was 3 years old and the original owner
wanted to protect his investment. She had no blisters and has
never developed any. Interlux BottomKote had been used for
the next 9 years, hauling every year. In 1999, we had the Interlux
Fiberglass BottomKote soda blasted off down to the level of the epoxy
paint. Next we reapplied 2 new layers of epoxy barrier paint and
began using an ablative paint, Interlux Fiberglass BottomKote
ACT. This paint has held up very well and the bottom is perfect.
