A variant of the original OUT ISLAND 41 that was the first to have the ‘walk through’ interior.
Some had a taller rig. (rig dimensions and other details vary widely)
Replaced with the MORGAN OUT ISLAND 416 in 1981.
In 1984-85 Pearson Yachts sold a line of sailboats that it called the Tritons. This was an attempt to capitalize on the success and reputation of the Alberg designed TRITON, introduced in 1958, and the company’s best known model.
The tooling for these yachts was actually purchased from US Yachts/Bayliner Inc.
The TRITON 25 is similar to the earlier US 25 and BUCCANEER 250 and was also sold as the PEARSON 25.
Shoal draft: 3.0′
Based on the Vigilant Class, designed by Geiger for wood construction.
With some justification, the CHINOOK 34 holds the claim as being the first fiberglass production sailboat of this size to be built in the US.
The builder, Marine Costructors Inc. was founded by a group of indiduals who wished to build boats for themselves at a reasonable cost. The company, expanded to build other models as Cascade Yachts and still remained in business into the 21st century.
Details with rig, interior, etc., vary considerably.
Later known as the ALBERG 22. Also known as the NORTH AMERICAN 22.
Fin or triple keel models.
Triple keel has cast Iron keel with steel plate fins.
Fin keel draft: 3.5′
Offered with a number of aux. power options.(gas or diesel)
Nearly the same is the earlier CRYSTAL 23.
Thanks to Halcyon 23 owner Rod Emberton for corrections and additional information.
It seems to have been a collaboration between Glas Laminates (a producer of spa’s, outhouses, etc.) and Joseph H. McGlasson. McGlasson, designer and builder of a 24′ wood sloop called the Catalina Islander approached Glas Laminates about producing a fiberglass version. Using one of these boats as a plug, Glas Laminates pulled a mold and the Islander 24 was born.
The raised deck Bahama version proved to be far more popular and this trunk cabin model was discontinued after a comparatively short run.
Thanks to former Islander 24 owner Randolph Van Esselstyn for providing photos and an original brochure.
Similar to the CORONADO 27 and built under license by International Marine in Melbourne, Australia during the 1970s. As with the CORONADO, it appears to be based on the same hull design as the COLUMBIA 26 MK II.
See CORONADO 27.
Besides a slightly different keel and sail plan than the earlier COLUMBIA 28, they are nearly the same.
Also similar to CORONADO 28.
Later available in ‘kit’ form as the SAILCRAFTER 28.
See CORONADO 23 for more details.
