Island Packet Yachts announces the new Island Packet 520

RE: New Model IPY 520

I am very pleased to announce the new Island Packet 520, yet another new
model we will launch later this year! Building on the popularity of the offshore
race-winning and globe-cruising center cockpit 485, the new 520 introduces an aft
cockpit version of the hull with the great looks and combination of seakeeping,
comfort, livability, quality, ease of handling and value as only Island Packet can
deliver.

With somewhat more sail area and less weight than the IP485, the 520 will build
on the already proven sailing performance of the 485. Generous storage and
machinery space is available throughout the interior and in the large
lazarette. The interior accommodations, like the 485, offer three cabins and
two heads with separate showers. All interior living space is on a single level
throughout, with several choices for the “third stateroom” configuration. Other
custom features as buyers may desire will be quoted on request. Large stainless
steel framed windows give great light and visibility to the spacious main saloon
while the usual assortment of overhead hatches, opening ports and Dorade-style
vents allow for generous ventilation.

Introductory pricing and specifications, along with some art of the new model, are
in the attached files, and a special pre-production discount is available for a limited
time (details to come in a separate memo). Historically, Island Packet aft cockpit
models have outsold center cockpits by almost two to one and, given the 485’s
position as the most successful selling model in its market sector, means that
there is a large potential market for these yachts!

Best regards,
Bill
