June 1999 - Island Packet 420 - Designer and Builder Comments
The new 420 defines the latest generation of Island Packet designs with virtually every aspect of this
yacht representing a significant evolution from our earlier models in this size range. With ongoing
advances in construction technology, equipment selection, manufacturing processes and quality
control measures, this will be one of the most desirable and best built yachts Island Packet has ever
offered.
The 420 hull incorporates a host of new design elements that further improve a concept that I believe
offers the best combination of seakeeping, safety, stability and speed available to the cruising sailor.
New bow and stern configurations combine to increase boat speed through a longer sailing waterline
and reduced resistance in waves, while refinements to the keel and rudder foil sections will benefit
upwind performance, reduce drag and enhance steering. The hull continues to be molded as a one
piece (integral hull and keel) solid tri-axial fiberglass structure, utilizing our pressure-fed resin
impregnation system, PolyClad®2 gel below the waterline and DuraShield™ gel on the topsides. I
think no one in the marine industry, power or sail, is molding better fiberglass parts than Island Packet.
The 420 deck design continues to offer all the key features long appreciated by Island Packet owners:
recessed foredeck with bulwarks, anchor platform with two rollers (our exclusive SeaSafe™ patented
design), full length stainless steel cabin top handrails, beautifully molded detail for hardware and a new
and improved dodger/windshield mount, and Dorade vents now with stainless steel cowls and
welded guards. The cockpit offers long, contoured seats with big lockers under push button latch seat
hatches with gas support struts, an insulated beverage box and hand held shower, separate helm seat
with backrest and premium rack and pinion pedestal mounted steering (with provision for auto pilot),
molded stern rail seats and a central gate leading to a stern platform. As always, sail control lines are
lead aft making sail trim or changes convenient from the cockpit. Bins located at the forward end of
both coamings have hinged tops and provide handy and neat storage for these lines. With the
available option of a roller furling mainsail (now selected by the majority of our new owners), sailing
has become easier and more enjoyable than ever. It’s a real pleasure to be able to quickly set, trim or
stow the sails without leaving the cockpit.
While on the subject of the rig, the 420 has been created with a somewhat taller configuration to take
advantage of the extra sail carrying ability of this design and to enhance both light air and upwind
performance. I should also add that the contributions to performance and sail control from the Hoyt®
staysail boom would be hard to overstate. This simple device has “turbo-charged” the staysail’s
contribution to overall performance and makes the cutter rig better than ever. I believe Island Packet is
the only manufacturer to offer this cutter design configuration, and it is a very big plus for the cruising
couple. The 420 should have excellent qualities for cruising under all points of sail in a wide variety of
conditions with a very manageable and versatile rig.
I think perhaps the most exciting aspect of the new 420 is the interior arrangement. The beam of over
14 feet and a lot of usable hull length have enabled me to create very spacious accommodations with
all the amenities that I think our owners are looking for, along with lots of storage space and large tank
capacities to meet the demands of extended cruising. This is going to be a great boat on which to
spend a lot of time.
The owner’s quarters are located forward and include a private head compartment with stall shower.
The stateroom introduces a new arrangement with a large double berth offset to starboard and angled
away from the hull side to allow access from either side. The berth top is hinged and supported with
gas struts and may be raised to access a generous storage bin underneath for blankets and the like.
Additional drawers, bureaus, shelves, and a cedar lined hanging locker provide ample room for
personal items. A dressing seat adds further convenience, and two deck hatches, a Dorade vent and
several opening ports will keep this area bright and breezy, as are all other areas throughout the
interior.
The adjoining head has a sink vanity with cabinet space over and under, “captain‘s-chair” seating for
the toilet, and built-in medicine chest and linen drawers. The shower includes a molded seat and
folding textured acrylic door that stows flat against the bulkhead when not in use. Space (and access)
has been provided for owner/dealer installation of a bow thruster under the shower seat area.
European owners are more inclined to make this installation, but I think it may be just a matter of time
until it becomes common in the USA. We’ve been praised in the press for having some of “the best
heads afloat” and I think this one will further that reputation.
The big forepeak is reached through a tall bulkhead door in the shower area. This area is unique in
that it features our usual divided chain locker forward (prepared for windlass installation and chain
control), plus a separate area immediately aft that will be handy for storage of items like fenders, extra
anchors and rodes, etc., when underway.
The aft guest stateroom has a wide double berth, ample storage in a hanging locker and bureau, and
private entrance to the aft head compartment. The aft head may also be accessed from the salon
area, and includes a shower with curtained enclosure and folding seat over the toilet. The sink vanity
has cabinet storage over and under and, as with the forward head, is finished in light colored
Formica® laminates with varnished teak trim for an attractive, bright and practical finish. Shower
drains in both heads have an electric drain pump discharging overboard, with sole drains configured
to work at rest or under sail.
The main salon is notable for its overall spaciousness. Once again I’ve incorporated our long popular
arrangement of full length facing settees, with the starboard L-shaped settee able to convert into a
double with a pull-out extension. Our trademark folding dining table hinges from the bulkhead storage
rack to provide for either a large serving/dining area or, when retracted, a completely open salon.
Large storage areas are available under and behind both port and starboard settees, in cabinets
outboard and above the settees and in a cedar lined hanging locker. Large capacity tanks for water,
fuel and waste are located under the sole, keeping these considerable weights low and close to the
center of the yacht to maximize stability, minimize trim changes and increase useful storage
elsewhere.
The full size navigation table with swing-out seat, adjacent to the main salon, should please the most
ardent navigator, and includes recessed master electrical distribution panels with numerous spare
breakers and ample panel space for dealer/owner installed electronics. A storage tray is provided
under the hinged tabletop, with a locker under and outboard of the table and a chart drawer under the
settee immediately forward of the nav area.
The 420 galley combines the best features of all previous Island Packet models and is notable for its
generous counter space, storage room and numerous convenience features. Our recently developed
ice box installation with hinged and double gasketed push-button latch lid and super-insulated box is
factory prepared for dealer/owner installation of refrigeration. There’s plenty of room for block ice if
preferred, or capacity for extra refrigerated storage on longer voyages. This installation was
developed jointly with a professional refrigeration manufacturer and tested by an independent lab
during its development. It has resulted in the best insulating qualities of any marine ice box design the
lab has tested (and they’ve done quite a few). Seaward’s recently introduced sealed-top LPG range
is standard, along with a microwave oven (A/C operation only). Several deep storage drawers, a pullout
trash receptacle, dish rack with cutlery drawers, pot and pan bin, dry storage lockers and counter
top cabinets should make one feel right at home. All sole surfaces in the galley, companionway and
navigation areas are molded in a slip-resistant diamond pattern for improved safety and ease of
maintenance in these frequently used areas. A teak grate in the sole covers a lift-out dust tray, access
to the fuel and water tank fittings and the lighted bilge sump.
In the twenty years since the founding of Island Packet Yachts, I am more excited than ever about the
yachts we are creating. In many ways, the new 420 represents the best of everything that has earned
Island Packet its position as America’s Cruising Yacht Leader.
