1983 Islander Yachts 30 Bahama Very fair price for a super fun and fast boat - 1983 - 30' Islander Bahama Sloop - great beginner boat, easy to handle and rig. Ready to sail with a coat of bottom paint.    Great Bob Finch design, fast and responsive (So far, her top surfing speed in the bay is 8.7 kts), sails very well to weather, she will point well into the wind and still move great. Predictable and controllable weather helm allows for some exciting sailing. Classic, distinctive lines separate this boat from the pack. This is the final year that this boat was built in California, the following year the production was moved to Costa Rica..   Sleeps 4-6 in two double and two single bunks. V forward, two singles in main cabin and double bunk under starboard cockpit. Cockpit sleeps two as well if you like sleeping under the stars for a cozy total of 8 if you are all really good friends.

She has been sailed almost everywhere on the Chesapeake Bay. St Michaels, Annapolis, Oxford and Cambridge and Rock Hall are all easy daysails from her current port.
