The Island 17 is a compact, trailerable sloop designed for coastal exploration and family day sailing. Primarily produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s by Island Boats, Inc., this model was positioned as an accessible entry point into the "pocket cruiser" market. With a focus on stability and ease of transport, the Island 17 features a modest displacement and a versatile swingkeel configuration that allows for shallowwater gunkholing and effortless beaching. While it lacks the pedigree of larger coastal cruisers, its robust fiberglass construction and simple rig have allowed it to persist in the used market as a dependable platform for novice sailors and those seeking a lowmaintenance weekend vessel.
