The Island Trader 38 is a quintessential example of the "Taiwan Clipper" era of boatbuilding, a period defined by heavydisplacement fiberglass hulls adorned with expansive teak and traditional aesthetics. Produced primarily between 1975 and 1988, the model was imported to the United States by Marine International of New Jersey. While some marketing materials and technical databases attribute the design to Hugh Angelman or suggest it was a derivative of William Garden’s work, editorial analysis from Practical Sailor indicates that the vessel’s origins are somewhat murky, often described as a composite of various traditional "character boat" lines intended to satisfy the romanticized "bluewater" look of the late 20th century.
