FOLLY DODGER
1997 Island Packet 29
Motivated owner- plans have changed...
The Island Packet 29 is praised as a sturdy, well-built, heavy-displacement cruiser known for its spacious, high-quality interior and easy single-handed cutter rig, offering a comfortable motion and great stability, though its performance isn't the best to windward due to its design, making it ideal for comfortable cruising and anchoring over fast sailing. Owners love the robust build, roomy feel for its size, and solid construction, with excellent value and cruising comfort.
Folly Dodger is hull # 61 out of 64 Island Packet 29's built between 1991 and 1997.

More Details
Folly Dodger is a beautiful example of the Island Packet 29. She is one of the last Island Packet 29's to be built in Largo Florida.
I personally own and sail an Island Packet 29 and I can attest to the 29's ease of single-handing and interior living space below deck. The 29 features 2 berths- V berth forward and a large full/queen berth aft to port. The main salon is quite comfortable and the fold down dinette can easily accommodate 4-6 people for dinner. The top loading refrigerator/freezer is huge and can store provisions for a few weeks!
I winter aboard my 1993 Island Packet 29 LEGACY and enjoy cruising Florida and the Keys in the winter. Honestly people are shocked that she is only a 29 Island Packet - she looks and feels much larger!
