The Island Packet 31, produced between 1983 and 1989, stands as a seminal model that solidified Bob Johnson’s vision of the "Full Foil Keel" cruiser. With 262 hulls manufactured, this vessel transformed the brand from a niche Florida builder into a globally recognized name in bluewater voyaging. The IP 31 was designed as a significant upgrade over the earlier Island Packet 26 and 27 models, offering increased waterline length and a substantially larger interior volume that rivaled many 35footers of its era. According to the Island Packet Yachts legacy archives, the model was instrumental in establishing the manufacturer's reputation for overbuilt, seakindly hulls capable of transoceanic passages.
