The Island Packet Packet Cat 35 represents one of the most distinctive departures in the history of Island Packet Yachts. Introduced in the early 1990s and designed by company founder Bob Johnson, the Packet Cat 35 was an ambitious attempt to apply the brand’s philosophy of heavy-displacement, "full-foil" stability to the catamaran market. Unlike the lightweight, performance-oriented multihulls of the era, the Packet Cat was engineered as a "monohull sailor's catamaran," prioritizing ultimate seaworthiness, massive interior volume, and a familiar feel underfoot over outright speed. The defining characteristic of the model is its patented "Delta-Pod" bow—a central, buoyant nacelle designed to provide additional lift and prevent the hobby-horsing and bridge-deck slamming common in traditional catamarans.
