The Islander 21 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Joseph McGlasson as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1965.[1][2][3]
The design was built by McGlasson Marine/Wayfarer Yachts in the United States from 1965 to 1969, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Islander 21 is a recreational keelboat built predominantly from fiberglass with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. For sailing, the design is equipped with a jib or a genoa. The design has sleeping accommodations for four people with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin along with a dinette table. It also has a galley and a head. Cabin headroom is 45 in (114 cm).[1][3]
The boat displaces 1,950 lb (885 kg) and carries 1,000 lb (454 kg) of iron ballast. It has a draft of 3.33 ft (1.01 m) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3] It has a PHRF racing average handicap of 282 and a hull speed of 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h).[3]
