Gypsy is an IP 350 that is outfitted with a solar array, watermaker and set up to cruise, and stay at anchor as long as you want. She has traveled from Maine to the Bahamas with her current owners who upgraded and maintained her well. She only has 2, 753 hours and is ready to go.

Overview

As one of Island Packet's most popular designs, the 350 offers safety and seakeeping that is synonymous with these well loved cruising boats. 

Offering Island Packet's seven key features: performance and seakeeping, integral hull and keel, direct steering system, protected propeller and rudder, versatile sailplan, protective bulwarks for safety on deck and immediate anchor access, the 350 will take you where you want to go in safety and comfort.

Gypsy started her life in the brackish Chesapeake Bay and was then shipped to Lake Pepin, where she was fresh water sailed for 8 years, then to Florida and back to the Chesapeake.

Her current owners have sailed from the Bahamas to New England, with Gypsy being stored for anywhere between 3 to 10 months at a time, because of their schedules.

She has been well loved and maintained by extremely fussy owners and is ready for her next adventures.

You won't be disappointed!

Full Details

Layout

Upon entering the companionway there are four large steps to the cabin sole. To starboard of the companionway is the "U" shaped galley with double stainless sink, two burner propane stove, oven and refrigerated ice box. Dedicated dish storage is above the ice box and a deep dry hold is to the right of the sinks. The galley is an easy reach to the cockpit for serving under way, and is a safe place for the cook to work.

To port of the companionway is the entrance to the aft cabin with athwartships bunk, cubbies for storage and a cedar lined hanging locker. 

The salon is light and bright, with ultraleather cushions, aft facing nav station and Island Packet's signature bulkhead mounted table.

Moving forward, at the aft end of the port settee is another hanging locker, and to starboard is the guest's entrance to the head.

The head has a hot and cold shower, sink and vanity and marine head.

Continuing forward is the owner's cabin, featuring a pullman style bunk, dressing seat, cubbies and another cedar lined hanging locker.

Everywhere on the boat is storage. Under the beds, under the settee's, behind the settee's, cavernous cockpit lockers and just everywhere you look. It's one of the marks of a boat that is designed for long distance travel, as well as an overnight on the Bay.
