1980 Island Trader 41 Ketch

Vessel Overview

This is a very able vessel by William Garden based upon his famous 'Porpoise' design. This boat is in exceptional condition for its age due to several factors. The boat was stored in a building unused for about a decade; and the current owners have spent a great deal of time restoring and up-dating her. Primarily, the teak decks were removed, coring issues addressed and much of the side decks have been covered with Treadmaster decking surface.
